The U.S. Passport Expediter - A Welcome Service When You Need Your Passport in a Hurry

A passport expediter can provide you with an important service when you absolutely must get your passport in a hurry but are unable to dedicate the necessary time to the task yourself. Expediters (or expeditors) have been around for a long time, maybe as long as passports have been used as official travel documents.

What is a passport expediter? Basically, an expediter is a courier. Dictionary.com defines a courier as "a messenger, usually traveling in haste, bearing urgent news, important reports or packages, diplomatic messages, etc." and expediter as "to speed up the progress of; accelerate" or "to execute quickly and efficiently". What is more important than getting your application processed when you have an international trip booked just a few days away and no passport in hand?

Passport expediters are required to register with the regional passport agency where they plan to operate. Once approved, they are authorized to represent their clients and submit application forms for expediting. Expediters do no acutally process the applications themselves. This is the responsibility of the U.S. Department of State Passport Services, the only official issuing agent for United States citizens

With the explosion of passport requests over the last decade (the number of passports issued grew from 7,292,182 in 2000 to 18,382,798 in 2007), the number of passport expediters has increased significantly as well. These companies range in size from small, family-operated businesses located in only one city to major corporations with international offices in major cities of the U.S. and the world.

When you are in a rush to get a passport, there is really not much time for researching and evaluating many different services. For this reason, U.S. Passport Service Guide has organized a directory of passport expediting services and, even, provided travelers like yourself with a list of recommended passport expediters. With nearly ten year of experience in this field and over forty expediters in our directory, you are only a few clicks away of applying to expedite your passport in 24-48 hours.
