Can I expedite my passport application?

Yes, you can expedite your passport application. If you are in urgent need of a passport, you can choose to expedite the processing time for an additional fee. By using this expedited service, you can typically receive your passport within 4-6 weeks instead of the standard processing time of 10-12 weeks. However, it is important to note that currently, due to increased application volumes and limited staffing, expedited processing may take longer than usual. For more accurate processing time estimates, you can check the official website or contact the National Passport Information Center. It is advisable to submit your application as early as possible and provide all necessary documents to ensure a smooth and timely process.
