Trip in 14 Days or Less? Start Here.
If your international departure is less than 14 days away and you cannot wait for standard processing, a State Department-registered private expediting service can return your passport in 24 to 72 hours. Rush My Passport is the largest registered expediting service — they handle the paperwork, the agency appointment, and overnight shipping.

If Your Passport Might Not Arrive in Time — Travel Insurance
Trip cancellation and interruption coverage reimburses non-refundable flights, hotels, and cruises if your emergency passport does not clear in time. All Cities travelers frequently add this at the same time they book expediting, especially for summer 2026 travel.

- Confirm the 14-day rule applies. International travel within 14 calendar days (or 28 days if a visa is required) qualifies you for emergency processing.
- Choose your path. Government agency appointment if you can get one; State Department-registered private expediter if you can't.
- Gather documents. Proof of citizenship, valid photo ID, passport photo, proof of imminent travel (flight itinerary or cruise booking), and completed DS-11 or DS-82 form.
- Apply. In person at the agency, or through your expediter — do not mail expedited applications.
- Pay fees. $130 book fee + $60 execution fee + $60 expedite fee + $19.53 overnight shipping. Private expediters add their own service fee.
- Receive your passport. Same day or next business day at the agency; 24–72 hours via a private expediter.
