**PLEASE REMEMBER WHEN BOOKING YOUR APPOINTMENT, THAT YOU MUST ACCURATELY LIST THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN YOUR PARTY. WE TYPICALLY ACCOUNT FOR 15 MINUTES PER PERSON. DO NOT SAY YOU HAVE 2 PEOPLE IN YOUR PARTY, AND SHOW UP WITH 3, THIS WILL CAUSE THE APPOINTMENT AFTER YOU TO BE DELAYED. WE REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP WITH THIS.** WE BOOK UNDER CENTRAL TIME!
YOU MUST HAVE YOUR APPLICATION FILLED OUT PRIOR TO YOUR APPOINTMENT, OTHERWISE WE WILL HAVE TO RE-SCHEDULE. While waiting for your appointment time, you may sit on the chairs provided outside the office. Please be respectful of our testing center across the hall, and keep the noise volume low.
It may take up to 2 weeks, from the day you apply until your application is in process. Once it is entered into the Passport Agency's system, the processing times will apply. Customers who check their status online at travel.state.gov prior to 4 weeks from the date you applied, may receive a response of "Not Found". This means that the application is still in transit to one of our passport agencies and centers.
If you are traveling in less than 3 weeks, you will need to contact NPIC 1-877-487-2778 for your other options.
We provide money orders (via payment by debit card), if you don't have a personal check for payment to U.S. Department of State.
- Routine Service: 7 - 10 weeks, door-to-door, from date of application. Cost for application is now $130
- Expedited Service: up to 3-5 weeks, door-to-door, from date of application. If customers want to receive their passports within the the 3-5 weeks, it is advised to also get the Expedited service. As stated above any passports under 3 weeks will not get to you in time, and we suggest you call the NPIC 1-877-487-2778 for other options. Passport application fee is now $130, Expedited service costs an additional $60 and should be included with the passport fees at the time of application.
