• Cost, in addition to regular application fees, is $60 per application plus overnight delivery costs.
• Two-way overnight delivery is strongly suggested.
• If you mail in – clearly mark Expedited on the envelope.
• Anyone may request expedited service for any type of application (e.g., first-time applications, renewals, amendments of existing US Passports, etc.) See:
  • How do I change my name on my US Passport?
  • How to add extra visa pages to my US Passport?
  • How do I apply to renew my US Passport?
• US Passport applications sent together or at the same time do not necessarily remain together.
• Your US Passport book and/or your US Passport card may be mailed separately from your returned citizenship evidence.

Note: An application for a US Passport book and a US Passport card may be expedited, but the $60 fee will only serve to expedite the book at this time. The pending production of your US Passport card, will not serve to delay the issuance and delivery of your US Passport book or the return of your citizenship evidence.

• Include your departure date on your application.
