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

Phoenix Passport - Where to Apply for a Passport in Phoenix, Az.

There are 10 passport offices in the city of Phoenix where citizens of the United States can apply for a new passport. The majority of facilities are located at local post offices. An acceptance agent at these locations will receive your application form and supporting documents, administer an oath and witness the signing of the form. Since most passport offices require an appointment, you should call or schedule an appointment online before visiting.

Estimated processing time is 8 to 11 weeks. Applications can be processed in 5 to 7 weeks if expedited service is requested. There is an additional fee of $60 for this service. Getting a passport faster is only possible at a regional agency.

Phoenix residents can apply at the Western Passport Center in Tucson if they need to travel within four weeks or less or if they need to get a travel visa within that same amount of time. Applicants who are unable to travel from Phoenix to the Tucson agency in person but who require fast passport expediting, can employ the services of an experienced expediter and authorize them to submit the passport application. An expediter can obtain travel documents within 2 weeks to as quickly as the same day.

UPDATE: Mailing delays 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 6 and 9 weeks. This timeframe does not include delivery time. Mailing times vary across the country.

Expedited service takes from 3 to 5 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 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.
