Scottsdale Passport Acceptance Fair Tomorrow!

Before visiting a foreign country, you should ensure that all your travel concerns are addressed. Here are a few of the most common questions my office receives that deal with passports: How do I apply for a U.S. Passport? If you are applying for a Passport for the first time, you will need to apply in person at a designated Passport Acceptance Office. A list of the necessary documents and other detailed information can be found here . You can find the closest Passport Acceptance Office by using the search on this U.S. Department of State Search Engine . How can I renew my existing passport? If you already have a passport that is not damaged, was issued in the past 15 years, was received after your 16th birthday, and has your same name, you can apply for a passport renewal by mail. For more information on renewing your passport, visit the Passport Renewal Page at the U.S. Consular Affairs Web Site. I can’t wait for the standard 8-11 week processing time for my application. Can I request an expedite? Yes. For an additional fee, you can request expedited processing which currently takes 5-7 weeks. For more information on expediting processing, visit the Expedited Service Page at the U.S. Consular Affairs Web Site or call 1-877-487-2778. If you would like my help with a passport issue, please do not hesitate to contact my Scottsdale District Office staff at 480-946-2411. Back to News
