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

Meridian Passport - Applying for a Passport in Meridian, MS

Of the 90 passport offices in Mississippi, only one facility is located in Meridian. We have included passport offices in nearby cities on the list below. Acceptance agents at these locations will receive your application (Form DS-11) and supporting documents, administer an oath and witness the signing of the form. Most facilities require an appointment. Please call or schedule an appointment before visiting.

Standard processing is currently taking up to 11 weeks. It may take less time but there is no guarantee. Requesting expedited service usually gets the application processed in 5 to 7 weeks. Applicants with urgent travel needs can schedule an appointment at the passport agency in Hot Springs, AR or New Orleans, LA.

Those with no time to visit the regional agency can submit the application through a qualified passport expediting service.

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.
