Passports
Traveling internationally this year? Be sure to apply sooner rather than later. Processing times are currently 4 to 6 weeks for routine processing, and 2-3 weeks and an extra $60 for expedited processing. Find out how to apply here.
BRAND NEW: You can now renew your passport online! The online renewal system is now fully operational. It is available to adult passport holders whose passports have expired within the past five years or will expire in the coming year. It is not available for the renewal of children’s passports, for first-time passport applicants, for renewal applicants who live outside the United States, or for expedited applications. Renew online here.
If your immediate family member passed away (or has a life-threatening illness or injury) and you need a valid passport, please contact our office so we may contact the Department of State on your behalf. You will need to fill out a passport application and provide us with: 1) proof of imminent travel, 2) evidence of an ill or deceased relative (i.e., a medical document that must be translated to English by a certified translator) and 3) evidence of relationship to the ill or deceased relative. Please see the Department of State’s page on expedited passport applications here.
If you have urgent international travel in the next 14 calendar days for reasons other than a life-or-death emergency, you may request an appointment at a passport agency here.
If you have travel planned within the next couple of months and need to renew your passport, you may request expedited processing of your application. Please note, even expedited processing can take up to 8 weeks. For more information, visit the State Department website.
Before you book your travel, we encourage you to look up travel restrictionshere. The Department of State encourages travelers to enroll in their Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP), which is a free service that allows U.S. citizens and nationals traveling abroad to receive country-specific safety updates, and ensures the U.S embassy can contact you in the event of an emergency.
