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

Niagara Falls Passport - Applying for a Passport in Niagara Falls, NY

You can apply for a new passport at one of the Niagara Falls passport offices listed below. We also included a few other facilities in nearby cities for more options. An agent at the passport office will adjudicate the application form so that you can mail it in for processing. Routine service takes between 8 to 11 weeks to complete. Requesting expedited service can reduce the processing time to up to 7 weeks.

To get a passport more quickly, you will either have to schedule a visit to the Buffalo Passport Agency or, if no opening is available, get a registered expediter to submit your application for you so that you can get a passport in 24-48 hours.

Passport offices can be found in other New York cities by visiting our New York 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.

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.
