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

Houston Passport - Where to Apply for a Passport in Houston, Texas

There are 38 passport offices in Houston where citizens of the United States can apply for new passports. Renewals can be requested by mail. Locations of acceptance facilities are listed below. Please call before visiting since most offices maintain specific hours.

Standard processing takes up to 10 weeks and expedited service up to 6 weeks. Schedule an appointment at the Houston Passport Agency or employ the services of a registered expediting service if you need to get your passport in under 2 weeks.

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:

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.

Houston Passport Agency

The Houston Passport Agency attends to travelers who are booked to travel or submitting their passports for foreign visas, within 14 days or 28 days, respectively. The first step to apply at a passport agency is to schedule an appointment through an automated service. This may require you to call many times, especially during peak travel season.

After you make the appointment, you need to travel to the agency location where you will be attended to. Once again, depending on the time of year, you may find yourself waiting in long, crowded lines to get your passport. Be sure to arrive at the passport agency 10 to 15 minutes before you appointment. Arriving late may result in the cancellation of your appointment.

Houston Passport Expediting Services

If you are unable to schedule an appointment at the regional agency, or if you don't want to spend precious time in potentially long lines, you may employ the services of an experienced passport expediter. Expediters are registered with the regional agency and maintain daily appointments with them so they can get your application processed in as fast as the same day. Additional fees apply on top of the government fees.
