Courier and Expeditor Companies

Courier companies, or “passport expeditors,” are private companies. Some of these companies may submit applications and pick up passports for customers.

 

Thinking of using a courier company? Here are a few things you should know:​

  • On this page, you can find a list of companies registered with the U.S. Department of State. 

  • These companies do not operate as a part of the U.S. Department of State. 

  • If you use a courier company, you will not receive your passport faster than applying at one of our passport agencies. 

  • Courier companies charge extra fees for their services. 

  • We do not charge a fee to make an appointment. If you are asked to pay, consider the request to be fraudulent. We are not affiliated with any third-party appointment booking services. We may not be able to honor appointments booked via third parties. Do not attempt to book two appointments.

  • If you are applying using Form DS-11, you still must appear in person at an acceptance facility. You will also need to provide extra information, such as proof of urgent international travel. 

  • You cannot submit an application online through a courier company.
