Need passport expedited in 3 days but already submitted to agency
(KC, MO)
Question: I needed to have my name changed on my passport and I wasn't scheduled to leave until the first week of August to go on a business trip to India.
My company just notified me that they wanted me to go to Dubai, leaving on Sunday June 13th. I have already overnighted my renewal, passport and name change documents to the passport agency and I know that they have received it.
My question is - is there anyway to get it to me by Saturday? I can provide them with travel information for confirmation. I have requested expedited service and overnight delivery already.
Answer: It is very unlikely that anyone can intervene in order to get your passport expedited in time for your trip. You would have to appear personally at a regional passport agency. For a list of agencies, click the link below.

Expedited service takes from 5 to 7 weeks exluding mailing times on the front and back end. Mailing delays may be significant so requesting 1-2-day mailing may greatly help.
Regional passport agencies are offering extremely limited in-person services if you need to travel internationally in the next 5 business days. Those with qualified life-or-death emergencies are prioritized.
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 5 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 AM to 5PM, call ET 1-877-487-2778 (TDD/TTY:1-888-874-7793) Outside of these hours, 202-647-4000
You can schedule your appointment up to 2 weeks before your international travel but the date of your appointment must be within 5 business days of your international travel. If you need a foreign visa, the date of your appointment must be within 10 business days of your international travel.
