Why use a registered courier instead of mailing my application?
Ambassador Passport and Visa Services is a private, independent company on the State Department’s list of registered couriers and expediters.

Our team also helps determine the appropriate passport service, confirms the required documents, and coordinates the next steps based on your application type and travel timeline.

Which passport applications have to be completed in person?
New passports, lost or stolen passports, damaged passports, and children’s passports require the DS-11 application to be executed in person in front of an Acceptance Agent before processing begins.

Requirements vary by the type of passport service you need, so please call 800-826-4558 and our team will confirm which applies to you.
