The El Paso Passport Agency expedites passports for U.S. citizens with urgent travel needs. If you require passport service in order to travel abroad within 14 days when no visa is required or within 28 days if you also need to get a travel visa, then you can apply at the El Paso Agency. The first step is to make an appointment by calling the automated appointment system. Appointments can also be made through the new online appointment system.

If you are unable to travel to the El Paso Passport Agency but need to get your passport in a hurry, you can apply through a registered passport expediting courier service such as Rush My Passport. If you do not have emergency travel needs, you must apply in person for a new passport at a Texas passport office or by mail if you need a renewal.

COVID-19 UPDATE: This agency is currently processing passport applications. To prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect both workforce and customers, agencies are currently limiting in-person appointments to customers who are traveling internationally in the next 72 hours (3 business days) due to a life-or-death emergency.

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 72 hours (3 business days).

You can apply for routine service and expect to receive a passport in 10-12 weeks. You also have the option of paying an additional fee for expedited service to receive your passport in 4-6 weeks.
