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

Edinburg Passport - Where to Apply for a Passport in Edinburg, Tx.

Edinburg passport offices and those located in nearby cities are listed below. Citizens of the United States can have passport applications adjudicated at these facilites. After the application is adjudicated and placed in a sealed envelope along with the supporting documents, it should be mailed in for processing. Passport services such as name changes, renewals, and corrections do not require adjudication. Requests for these services can by sent directly.

New passport applications are processed in approximately 8 to 11 weeks if documents are approved. Otherwise, there can be delays. Anyone who wants to obtain a passport in less time can have the application expedited. The estimated time for expedited service is 5 to 7 weeks. Getting a passport in 2 weeks or less can be accomplished by scheduling an appointment at the Houston Passport Agency. If you are unable to get in before your departure date or cannot make the trip to the agency, you can get a qualified expediting service to get a passport in 24 to 48 hours.

For a list of acceptance facilities in cities other than Edinberg, visit the Texas passport office page.

UPDATE: Mailing delays 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 6 and 9 weeks. This timeframe does not include delivery time. Mailing times vary across the country.

Expedited service takes from 3 to 5 weeks exluding mailing times on the front and back end. Mailing delays may be significant so requesting 1-2-day mailing may greatly help.

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:

Mondays through Fridays 8 A.M. to 8 P.M. ET, call 1-877-487-2778 (TDD/TTY:1-888-874-7793) Outside of these hours, call 202-647-4000.

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 at 1-877-487-2778 Mondays through Fridays 8 A.M. to 10 P.M. ET.
