Expedited Passport Services Available in Monmouth County

Families planning to travel abroad this summer have access to expedited passport services, according to a news release from the U.S. Department of State.

“While we urge U.S. citizens to apply as early as possible for their passport needs, the Department offers convenient options for those who need their travel documents sooner than our standard four to six week processing time,” the new release said.

There are more than 8,000 facilities across the country accepting expedited passport applications. First time passports, passport renewals, additional visa pages and data corrections all qualify for expedited service.

Applicants must pay an additional $60 expedite fee and allow two to three weeks for delivery.
