24 Hour Passport Expediting Service

The first question to ask is "Is a 24 hour passport necessary?" Waiting at least 3 business days can mean a savings of $150 or more if you have to apply through an expediter. You can choose between the following services: 24 hour (1 business day), next day (2 business days), 3-4 business days, 5-7 business days and 8-12 business days. Fees are based on how quickly you need to get a passport.

The second question to ask is "Is a 24 hour passport possible?" The answer depends on the type of service you need and the location from which and to which you are applying. Applying for 24 hour passport renewal is much easier than trying to obtain a new U.S. Passport. To get a new passport you have to have an authorized agent witness the signing of the application. Application for renewals can be sent by mail.

Your location also affects the matter. If you live in or near certain major cities, getting your passport within 24 hours is possible. There are regional passport agencies in cities like Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, New York and others that provide same day expediting for travelers in emergency situations.

You are supposed to make an appointment first but when you need your passport in 24 hours there is no time for that. Show up when the agency opens, tell them you do not have an appointment and you should still be able to get your passport that very day.

Even if you do not live in or near a city where one of the agencies is located, it is still possible for you to get a 24 hour passport. You can apply through a private passport expediting service. Overnight your application to the expediter and they will submit it to the regional agency for you. Some expediting services will even deliver your passport to you at the airport if they have an office located in the same city.

The third and final question to ask is "Which 24 hour passport service should I use?" You should consider carefully the passport expediting service you choose. Not all expediters offer 24 hour services. Also, not all expediters offer the same quality of service. If you need a 24 hour passport, you need to make sure that you use a well-established company that has a proven track record for getting applications processed quickly.
