Is there a fast track passport service?

Expedite Your Passport: Fast Track Options for Quick Turnarounds

In urgent situations where a passport is needed promptly, expedited passport services offer a solution. Here are two options available:

One-Day Premium Service

For immediate passport needs, the One-Day Premium service is available. This expedited service allows travelers to obtain a new or renewed passport within 24 hours. Documents and biometrics must be submitted in person at a designated passport agency or center. The premium fee covers the expedited processing and same-day issuance of the passport.

Week-Long Fast Track Option

The Fast Track option provides a quicker turnaround than standard processing times, typically taking 5-8 business days. While it is not as immediate as the Premium service, it is still a faster option compared to regular processing. This service is especially suitable for travelers who have a few days to spare and require their passport within a week.

Eligibility and Requirements

To qualify for expedited passport services, travelers must provide proof of an urgent need, such as:

• Travel within 24 hours for the Premium service
• Travel within 5-8 business days for the Fast Track option
• Medical emergencies or humanitarian travel
• Government or military assignments

Benefits of Expedited Services

• Immediate or quick passport issuance
• Convenience and peace of mind

Important Considerations

• Expedited services come with additional fees.

To apply for expedited passport service, visit the website or contact the designated passport agency or center. Complete the necessary application forms, provide proof of urgent need, and pay the applicable fees. Follow the instructions carefully to ensure a smooth and efficient process.
