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

Tupelo Passport - Applying for a Passport in Tupelo, MS

Americans citizens can submit applications at the Tupelo passport offices listed below if they are applying for a first-time passport, renewing a passport issued to a minor age 15 or younger or replacing a passport that was lost, stolen or significantly damaged. These services require the applicant to personally appear to submit the application form, evidence of U.S. citizenship, proof of identity, copy of identification document and a passport photo to an authorized acceptance agent.

Applying through a passport office in Tupelo can take up to 11 weeks to process. This can be reduced to 5 or 7 weeks if you request and pay for expedited service. Passports can be issued in less time if you schedule an appointment at the passport center in Hot Springs, AR or New Orleans, LA. The agency only receives applications from those can provide evidence of travel within 30 days.

Those who are unable to visit the regional agency can get a passport quickly by employing the services of a registered passport expediting courier service such as Rush My Passport.

Click for expedited passport courier service in 24-48 hours.

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.
