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

Rhode Island Passport Passport Offices List

The are only 22 Rhode Island passport offices throughout the state. American citizens can apply for new passports at these application acceptance facilities. When no facility is located where you live, search for one in a nearby town. Be aware that most application acceptance facilities maintain limited operating hours and require that you schedule an appointment before visiting. Call before you visit in order to avoid delays.

Applicants can request routine processing which takes up to 6 weeks or expedited service which is completed in no more than 3 weeks. For urgent travel situations, you can schedule an appointment at the Boston Passport Agency or the Connecticut Passport Agency in Stamford. If you do not have time to personally visit one of the agencies, a registered expediter courier service can get your passport in 24-48 hours.

COVID-19 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 7 and 10 weeks. This timeframe does not include delivery time. Mailing times vary across the country.

Expedited service takes from 4 to 6 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.
