The completed but unsigned application for a new passport Form DS-11 should be taken to the passport application acceptance facility along with the required supporting documents. Applications for other passport services such as renewals, name change and corrections can be made by mail.
You can schedule and appointment at the Dallas Passport Agency if your departure date is within 14 days. Regional agencies attend to U.S. citizens whose departure date is fourteen days or less away or who need to get a travel visa within that time. The address is below but for more information including how to schedule an appointment and directions, click the link.
If you do not have time to personally visit the regional passport agency, you can employ the services of a registered expediter in order to get a passport in 24-48 hours
For a list of acceptance facilities in cities other than Grand Prairie, visit the Texas passport office page.
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.
