Information

agencies routinely take 4 to 6 weeks to be processed.
- Urgent
issue applications (which may be issued same-day or within 48
hours) require proof of departure within 4 business days
of being submitted to the passport agency and MUST be shipped

applications by hand carrying them to the U.S. Passport Agency,
and following up on the progress. Please note that TDS is
not in a position to be able to offer any guarantees of passports
to be issued by a specific date. Issue is determined by urgency
of your departure.
