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

Nashville Passport - Applying for a Passport in Nashville, Tn.

The list of Nashville passport offices is provided below to assit you in finding a location to apply for a new United States passport. These application acceptance facilities do not process the forms but, rather, send them along with your supporting documents to processing centers. Routine processing service takes up to 11 weeks. Expedited service takes 5 to 7 weeks. Most passport offices require applicants make an appointment. Please call before visiting any facility.

Rush passport service in under four weeks can only be done at a regional agency. Residents of Tennessee can visit the Atlanta Passport Agencyin order to get passports quickly. Those who are unable to visit the processing center can utilize the services of a registered expediter in order to get a passport expedited in 24-48 hours.

If you need to find a location to apply in a different city, 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.
