If travel is urgent, RushMyPassport offers emergency service options with processing as fast as same day or within 24–48 hours, depending on eligibility and availability. For the fastest service, you’ll need to account for the time it takes to ship your documents to the passport agency and for overnight return shipping once processing is complete.
For example, if you send your documents to us on Monday and they are received Tuesday morning, same-day service means your application is submitted that business day. Once processing is completed, your passport is shipped back to you as quickly as possible. Proof of travel is required for shorter timeframes.

Your child’s photo must meet specific size, background, and quality standards, and even small errors can cause delays.
For a faster, stress-free option, you can use RushMyPhoto or visit a FedEx Office location to take a compliant passport photo online and ensure it’s reviewed before you submit.
