How Fast Can you Get a passport was originally written in 2010. A lot has changed in almost a decade, so we recently wrote Ways to Get Your Passport Renewed Fast (9/30/2019). We invite you to read that post with the most recent information available.
There are over 8.8 million applicants for US passports each year. For that reason, there are around 7,000 passport offices in the country. Generally it takes around 3 to 4 weeks to get a passport, but what if you need to travel soon? If you have 2 weeks, you can usually get an appointment at one of the 13 regional passport offices and get the passport in less time. Need it even faster? Perhaps “immediately” like one of our clients who arrived at the airport only to realize his passport had expired? You can use ItsEasypassport.com who can usually get you a passport the same day, or within 24 hours. They work in conjunction with US Passport offices in New York, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Houston and other major U.S. cities & even have an office at the JFK airport. The fee for same-day service for a new passport or renewal, is currently from $249 plus standard government passport fees.
Travel tip: Make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months from your return date to the U.S.
