Important Due to Covid-19, processing times for passports are taking longer than normal for both standard and expedited services.

Atlanta Passport Agency Expediting Service

The Atlanta Passport Agency provides expedited services for United States citizens who need to fast track their travel documents within 14 days (if no visa is required) or within 28 days (if a travel visa is needed). Residents of Atlanta can apply at the Passport Center by scheduling an appointment through the NPIC. The toll-free number is 1-877-487-2778. Appointments can also be made through the new online appointment system.

If you are not traveling, or needing to submit your passport for expedited services within two weeks, you can apply at an Georgia Passport Acceptance Facility. If you are not able to travel to the Atlanta Passport Agency, you can apply through a registered passport expediting service.

Processing Times

Passports are issued according to travel plans. Same-day passports are issued in emergency situations.

*This agency only issues the U.S. passport book on-site.

UPDATE: Mailing delays and high demand are impacting passport processing. The Department of State's processing times begin when applications are received at a passport agency or center and not when you mail them or apply at a local acceptance facility.

Standard service may take between 10 and 13 weeks. This timeframe does not include delivery time. Mailing times vary across the country.

Expedited service takes from 7 to 9 weeks excluding mailing times on the front and back end. Current mailing delays are significant. Requesting 1-2-day mailing service is recommended.

Regional passport agencies are offering two types of appointments: Life-of-Death Emergency Service and Urgent Travel Service.

Life-or-death emergencies are serious illnesses, injuries, or deaths in your immediate family (parent, legal guardian, child, spouse, sibling, and grandparent) that require you to travel outside the United States within 3 business days.

If you need to travel due to a qualified life-or-death emergency, please call the National Passport Information Center for an appointment.

For Urgent Travel Service, you need to call 14 days before your scheduled international travel or 28 days if you also need to secure a foreign visa.

If you need to travel urgently for reasons other than a life-or-death emergency, please call the NPIC.

A registered expedited passport courier can often assist in obtaining a passport as quickly as the same day. You can learn more about this service here.
