Need our passport applications to be expedited

by Mike

Hi, we unfortunately already turned in our passport applications to the USPS. That was already over a month ago and our vacation is right around the corner. We are starting to get worried that the passports won't make it to us in time.

Is it possible to get a passport service company to pull our applications out of the Passport Agency? That way we can get the passports expedited so we can make our trip!

ANSWER:

Hi there,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but as of right now there is not a process in place for passport expedite services to take over for applications already submitted through the post office. The Passport Agency where your applications are at will not allow it.

Expedite companies can only have control over other people's applications when they are not submitted through the post office.

Your only course of action is to directly contact the Passport Agency. You can call them or e-mail them here: http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html
