Question: I have a valid passport that was issued in 2003. It has my maiden name on it. I have filled out the DS-82 form, gotten 2 passport photos taken, and attached my Certificate of Marriage. What is the fee for this service? Would I add an additional $60 to that total to get it expedited? Thank you for your help!
Answer: The fee to renew a passport by mail using form DS-82 is currently $110 for a passport book only. You can request a passport card at the same time for an additional $30.
Expedited service fee is $60. This reduces the processing time from 4-6 weeks to 2-3 weeks. If you choose this service, be sure to write the word "expedite" on the outside of the envelope so that agents can quickly identify your request.
For faster service, you either have to visit a regional agency or get a professional passport expediting service to submit the application for you.
