Passport Help!!!!?

Question

Hey, we are going to get apply for our passports tomarrow, and we were wondering how long it would take for us to receive it. Our Aunt, told us that (our cousin's) arrived in a week's time. Is there any way for us to get it faster than normal?

We plan to go to Mexico this Monday. (not tomarrow but next week)

Answer 1

You can expedite the service, but I don't believe it would take less than a week.

At this time, we are processing routine applications in less than four weeks from the time of application.  We are processing requests for expedited service in two weeks door-to-door*.  

If you are traveling or need your passport in order to get a visa within 14 days:

Please call us at the National Passport Information Center at 1-877-4USA-PPT (1-877-487-2778) to schedule an appointment to apply in person at a Passport Agency (please see note below).

If you have already applied but will not need your passport within 14 days:

There should be no need to contact us at this time. Our goal is to make sure that no one misses a trip. We have added staff and are working overtime across the country to achieve this goal.

Based on current projections, if you have already applied for the U.S. passport card:  

We expect to begin production of the passport card in June and be in full production in July.  We will continue to provide updates about passport card production on Travel.State.Gov.

Expedite Service:  If you apply for your passport and request Expedited Passport Processing, you can expect to receive your passport in 2 weeks door-to-door.  Effective June 16, 2008, the Department’s standard for expedited passport processing completion, as defined in 22 CFR 51.56, is five business days from either: 1) receipt of your passport application at a Passport Agency/Center; or 2) if the passport application is already at a Passport Agency/Center, the date your request for expedited passport processing is approved. Expedited passport processing is considered complete when the passport is ready to be picked by an applicant or when it is put in the mail to the applicant.  

Customers are encouraged to check this web site for the most up-to-date passport application processing times.  

NOTE:

There is no charge for an appointment at a passport agency. Customers should not pay anyone or any business making such a charge.

Passport Agencies assist customers with urgent travel needs (generally if you are traveling within 2 weeks).

Passport Agencies are open by appointment only and require proof of travel date or need for foreign visas. See List of Regional Passport Agencies .

If you haven’t received your passport and are traveling within the next 7 days , please call the National Passport Information Center.
