Rush passport processing is available for those who need to obtain a new or replacement passport quickly. If you need to leave the United States urgently or unexpectedly, rush passport processing can provide you with a new, renewed, replacement or amended passport within 24 to 72 hours.
Several companies will assist you in expediting your passport, and in most cases, you can apply for overnight passport renewal. Of course, that kind of service will cost you additional fees to expedite your application, as well as the cost of overnight shipping documents to and from immigration.
Fast, reliable U.S passport service, 24 hours service is available. - ExpressPassport.com
Before starting, have all of your required documentation and complete all the necessary forms accurately. Any errors made or missing documents will delay your passport renewal and may result in you missing your travel deadline.
For a passport renewal the list of required documentation and forms may differ based on several factors including but not limited to; the issue date of your passport, whether your expired passport was issued when you were under the age of 16, and whether your name has changed since your expired passport was issued.
The US department of Immigration will be able to provide you with a list of exactly what you will need. The following list of must haves will get you well on the way to successfully completing your application.
- Two identical passport sized photos that meet passport photo requirements
- Application form DS-82. This can be printed online.
- Your expired passport, to be canceled and returned with your new passport.

Many people choose to work with a third party company specializing in rush passport processing. You certainly do not need to use them, but if you choose to, be aware of their additional costs. Costs usually run around $100 on top of passport costs and shipping. They will provide you with printable documents and a checklist of support information needed to complete your application. For those with a full schedule, who just don't have time to deal with the details, a passport expediting service is the only choice to make.
