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

Elizabeth Passport - Applying for a Passport in Elizabeth, NJ

There are a couple of Elizabeth passport offices that are listed below. We included a few more facilities located in nearby cities to provide more options. Residents of the state can find many more New Jersey passport application acceptance facilities in other cities where they can submit form DS-11 in order to obtain a passport.

In emergency situations (i.e., travel within 14 days or less), applicants can personally visit the New York Passport Agency or employ the services of an experienced passport expediting company such as Rush My Passport.

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.
