Overnight Delivery

Note: You cannot request overnight delivery for the U.S. Passport Card.  All passport cards will be returned using First Class Mail.

In order to receive your passport as soon as possible, no matter what you're applying for (first-time application, renewal, additional pages, name change, etc.), we strongly suggest that you use an overnight delivery service to:

1. Send your passport application to the Department of State
(See your overnight delivery service provider for fee information)

and

2. Return your newly issued passport from the Department of State
(Include a overnight delivery service fee of $14.85 with each application)

NOTES:

  • We strongly encourage applicants to use a mail service which provides delivery confirmation, at minimum, when mailing a passport application or any additional documentation to the Department of State
  • The overnight delivery service provider that you use to send your passport application to the Department of State must be capable of delivery to a P.O. Box

Methods of Payment

When applying at a Passport Agency, you may submit your payment using one of the following:

  • Credit Cards (VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover)
  • Debit/Check Cards
  • Checks (personal, certified, cashiers', travelers')
  • Money Orders (U.S. Postal, international, currency exchange)
  • Bank Drafts

When applying at an Acceptance Facility, you may submit your payment using one of the following:

For Passport Application Fee:

When applying for a U.S. passport from outside of the United States, you should check with the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate for guidance on accepted methods of payment. U.S. Embassies and Consulates accept the foreign currency equivalent to the dollar ($) amounts listed above.
