Are you in need of speedy passport service? Plan to travel abroad and still do not have a passport? What can you do? This article will discuss three ways you can get a passport as fast as the same day.

No matter what passport service you require - first time, renewal, added visa pages, name change, correction, etc. - it takes two to three weeks to expedite applications that are sent by mail. While this is quicker than regular processing which takes four to six weeks, there are some thing you can do to get your travel document to you much quicker.

There are two ways for you to get a same day passport. The choice you need to make is whether you want to apply yourself or would you rather have a private expediting service submit the form for you.

Requesting speeding passport service personally will save you some money but it will cost you valuable time. Authorizing a private expediting service to obtain the passport for you will cost you more money but will save you a lot of time.

Same Day Passport at a Regional Agency

The first step to apply for a passport at a regional agency is to make an appointment by calling 1-877-487-2778 toll-free. This is an automated service and can be difficult to get through during periods of the year when the number of people traveling increases significantly.

Regional agencies have jurisdiction over specific areas so it is necessary to make an appointment at the agency that serves your state. Depending on where you live, this could be in the same city or very far away

It is recommended that you show up to the agency no more than 15 minutes early and certainly not late. Take the completed application form, all supporting documentation and payment with you. You will have to pay another $60 fee if you request expedited service.

If all goes well and your documents are correct, you should receive your passport that same afternoon.

Speedy Passport Service through an Expediter

When you cannot travel to a regional agency but must have your passport within fourteen days or less, the most feasible option is to get a private expediter to submit the application for you.

You first need to complete the online application to request this service. Once you have applied to the expediter, you must send the company your passport application form, required documentation and payment for government fees. If you want to apply for a new passport, you will still be required to take and oath and sign the application in the present of an agent at a nearby passport office. However, instead of mailing the sealed envelope directly to Passport Services, you will send it to the expediter.

The most economical solution is to apply early and avoid having to pay the extra fees. Of course, when you are at risk of missing your trip, speedy passport service through a professional expediter can be a good investment. The important thing is to get your passport quickly.
