Urgent Travel and Regional Agencies
Charlotte does not have a Regional Passport Agency of its own. The nearest regional center for Charlotte residents is the Atlanta Passport Agency in Georgia. This facility serves only those with proof of urgent international travel.
- 14-Day Rule: You must have proof of international travel within 14 calendar days.
- 28-Day Rule: You must have proof of international travel within 28 calendar days and require a foreign visa.
Charlotte Passport Expediting Services
Don't want to risk your trip by waiting on standard processing or driving four hours to the Atlanta Agency? A registered Charlotte passport expediter can submit your paperwork on your behalf, saving you from wasting time, missing work, and the costs to travel to and from the agency.
These registered passport expediting services can submit applications for expedited passports on a daily basis. If you have an emergency and need to obtain your passport within 2 weeks or less but are unable to personally visit a regional agency, utilizing a private courier service is an excellent solution.
Before Visiting a Charlotte Passport Acceptance Facility
- Complete Form DS-11, but wait to sign it until instructed at your appointment.
- Bring physical proof of U.S. citizenship and supporting documents.
- Bring a current government-issued photo ID and a photocopy of the front and back.
- Bring a photocopy of your citizenship evidence.
- Bring one official passport photo.
- Be prepared to pay two separate passport fees: the U.S. Department of State passport application fee and the local execution/acceptance fee.
Many USPS and county acceptance facilities require appointments, so it is smart to call ahead or check the National Passport Information Center guidelines before visiting. Note: The Department of State does not charge a fee to book an appointment. Beware of third-party scheduling scams.
