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

Lincoln Passport - Applying for a Passport in Lincoln, NE

Lincoln passport offices are listed below along with facilities in nearby cities. Quite a few Nebraska passport application acceptance facilities exist where American citizens can submit form DS-11 and supporting documents to apply for a new passport. Most passport offices require an appointment. Please call or set an appointment online before visiting.

Routine processing takes up to 11 weeks. Expedited service is estimated to take up to 7 weeks. Schedule an appointment at a regional agency or utilize the services of a registered expediter such as Rush My Passport to get your passport in 24 to 48 hours.

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.
