Travelers often realize that they have forgotten to obtain or renew their passport shortly before traveling. This puts them into quite a panic and they are not sure where to turn for help. They need look no further than the Internet in order to find information regarding 24hr US passport processing. Applicants can print the forms and submit all paperwork either via mail or in person.

The rush service offered by the U.S. government costs $60 in addition to the normal processing charges. Current fees are $75 for adults and $60 for minors, plus a $25 execution charge. Payment is accepted via check, bank draft, money order, credit card, or check/debit card when the documents are presented to a Passport Agency. If the application is being presented to a post office, the applicant should contact the post office to find out what types of payment are accepted.

How To Get A 24 Hr Passport

Money order and check are the only accepted forms of payment for applications submitted via the mail. The payment, supporting documents, and application should be packaged in a durable envelope and sent via overnight delivery. Applicants are advised to use a traceable mailing service, such as UPS or FedEx, be used in order to track the package, if necessary. Applicants should also request overnight delivery from the agency in order to speed up the process.

The rush service may also be used for passport amendments and renewals. Things such as adding extra pages to an existing book or doing a name change qualify as amendments. Each type of change requires that a different form be completed, so the passport holder should check the Department of State Web site for instructions and to download the correct forms.

The government processing time for an expedited pasport is currently approximately two to three weeks. The reason this is so long is that the government accounts for the time to receive the application, five days for processing documents, and time for sending the passport in the mail to the applicant. Applicants may go online to the government site in order to check the status of their applications throughout the process.

Applicants who cannot wait three weeks to receive a passport should look to a private company that provides faster service. These companies require the same paperwork as the government, but they will work with the federal agency to get this information processed in a more expeditious manner. These services can provide a passport to an applicant in as little as one business day when overnight delivery is used.

Of course, this very quick service comes at an additional cost. Some private companies charge as much as $250 in addition to the government fees in order to process the documents within one business day. Many will offer a replacement protection service for a small added fee. This allows for replacement of the passport if it is damaged, lost, or stolen. This provides additional peace of mind for the traveler once the document is in-hand.

An individual who will be traveling to a foreign country can use either the government or a private company to get a 24hr United States passport. The government will charge an additional $60 over the regular processing fees but it will take two to three weeks for delivery. Private companies may charge several hundred dollars in order to receive an American passport within the next business day.
