Travel Tips - Obtaining a Passport

Tips for Obtaining Your Passport Quickly 

With routine passport processing times improving to 8–11 weeks as of Fall 2023, travelers can still benefit from being proactive. 

Make the process easier by following the tips and tricks below: 

Passport photos are critical, and not all providers meet government standards. As your travel agent, you can ask me about the passport photo rules to ensure you are following the requirements before submitting. 

If you want to outsource the process, an app like ItsEasy.com can streamline the renewal process by offering additional expert guidance, compliant photos, and online forms for accurate submissions.

For a quick turnaround, ItsEasy.com also offers rush services starting at $349, which expedites passports within 14 business days. If you have more time, you can also use a basic expedited renewal service through the government agency, which provides an affordable alternative combined with quick shipping. 

Another option in urgent cases is directly accessing a US Passport Agency office. Just note that appointments are limited; however, travelers may be able to find same-day appointments resulting in immediate or next-day issuance.
