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

Memphis Passport - Where to Apply for a Passport in Memphis, Tn.

The Memphis passport offices below are locations where citizens of the U.S. can apply for a new United States passport. Acceptance facilities do not process applications so you will not receive your passport at these locations. The application form and supporting documents will be sent to a processing center in a sealed envelope. Standard processing takes up to 11 weeks while expedited service takes as much as 7 weeks to complete. Many acceptance facilities require an appointment so be sure to call before visiting.

You can get passports more quickly by scheduling an appointment at the Atlanta Passport Agency or employ the assistance of a qualified expediting service if you do not have the time to personally visit the agency. Expediters can help you get a passport in 24-48 hours.

To locate an application acceptance facility in a city other than Memphis, visit the Tennessee passport application acceptance facilities page.

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.
