How fast can I get a passport?
Processing options include 2 business days (limited availability), Ultra Rush (4–5 business days), Rush (7–8 business days), and Express (10–12 business days). Turnaround depends on your application type, your travel date, and current availability, so timelines are not guaranteed. Call 800-826-4558 to confirm what is available before your departure.

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. New passports, lost or stolen passports, damaged passports, and passports for children under 16 require the DS-11 application to be executed in person in front of an Acceptance Agent before processing begins. Call 800-826-4558 and our team will confirm which applies to you.

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. If your passport was issued more than 15 years ago or before you were 16, you will need to appear in front of an Acceptance Agent. Call 800-826-4558 and we will confirm which applies to you.

What do I need to renew my passport?
Most renewals use Form DS-82 and require your current U.S. passport and two passport photos taken in the last six months. Proof of travel is not required, but if you have a purchased flight itinerary, a hotel reservation, or a business letter, you are welcome to include it. Call 800-826-4558 to confirm the requirements for your application.

How do I get a passport for my child?
Passports for children under 16, whether first-time applications or renewals, require the DS-11 application to be executed in person in front of an Acceptance Agent. Government fees are $195.00 for minors under 16, paid at the time of execution. Ambassador can assist with this step, so call 800-826-4558 to confirm what to bring.

Can Ambassador help with a lost, stolen, or damaged passport?
Yes. Ambassador assists with replacements for lost, stolen, and damaged passports. A damaged passport must still be valid; if it is not, the application is handled as a new passport. These applications require an in-person execution step in front of an Acceptance Agent. Call 800-826-4558 as early as possible so we can review your options.
