Because Ambassador Passport and Visa Services is registered with the U.S. Department of State as an expeditor and courier, and listed on their website, we are able to hand carry applications for processing rather than mailing them out.

Step 2: Prepare and submit your documents. Our team will review and confirm the requirements for your passport service and help you prepare the application correctly. Certain applications, including new passports, lost passports, damaged passports, and passports for children, require the DS-11 application to be executed in person in front of an Acceptance Agent before processing begins. Please call us at 800-826-4558 for assistance with this step.

Step 3: Ambassador Passport and Visa Services will hand-carry your application into the U.S. Department of State.

Do I have to come in, or can I send my documents?
It depends on the application. Many applications can be handled by sending your documents to us.

Can I renew my passport, or do I need to apply for a new one?
You can generally renew if you received your passport in the past 15 years, you were at least 16 when you received it, your passport is intact and not damaged, and you still have the same name or can legally document a name change.
