Don't Need the Federal Building?
Most travelers never need an agency visit. As a registered passport expediter, we review your application, hand-carry it for processing, and FedEx your passport back — as fast as 3-4 Days, with no agency appointment. First-time, child and certain replacement applications still require one in-person acceptance signing, and we prepare that packet too.
