How to Get a New Passport Fast
Step 1: Visit a local office above.
Step 2: Get your application witnessed and sealed.
Step 3: Let a registered courier expedite your processing and return your passport in days, not weeks.
New York Passport Agency
The New York Passport Agency only serves customers who are traveling internationally or submitting their passports for foreign visas on an urgent timeline. To apply at the Agency, you must schedule an appointment and meet the strict travel window criteria.
- 14-Day Rule: You must have proof of international travel within 14 calendar days.
- 28-Day Rule: You must have proof of international travel within 28 calendar days and require a foreign visa.
Local Tip: The New York Passport Agency is located within the Greater New York Federal Building at 376 Hudson Street. Be aware that security is extremely tight; arrive at least 30 minutes before your appointment. Also, the surrounding West Village area has very limited street parking, so taking the subway (1 train to Houston St) is highly recommended.
New York Passport Expediting Services
If you can't afford to spend a whole morning waiting at the Agency downtown, an expediting service is your best bet. They offer a white-glove solution for busy New Yorkers, handling the submission and pickup of your urgent travel documents so you can stay focused on your trip.
These New York passport expediting services are registered with State Department agencies and can submit applications for expedited passports on a daily basis. If you have an emergency and need to obtain your passport within 2 weeks or less but are unable to personally visit a regional agency, utilizing a private courier service is an excellent solution.
Before Visiting a New York Passport Acceptance Facility
- Complete Form DS-11, but wait to sign it until instructed at your appointment.
- Bring physical proof of U.S. citizenship and supporting documents.
- Bring a current government-issued photo ID and a photocopy of the front and back.
- Bring a photocopy of your citizenship evidence.
- Bring one official passport photo.
- Be prepared to pay two separate passport fees: the U.S. Department of State passport application fee and the local execution/acceptance fee.
Many USPS and county acceptance facilities require appointments, so it is smart to call ahead or check the National Passport Information Center guidelines before visiting. Note: The Department of State does not charge a fee to book an appointment. Beware of third-party scheduling scams.
