How do I get a passport ASAP in NYC?
I'm going to NYC for the month of January on business and am looking for the quickest, cheapest way to get a new passport.
I have heard about the expedited service at NY Passport Express, but there seems to be multiple options. What do you all recommend? I'm going to check it out now so I know what I'm getting into, but I'd like to hear what everyone else has used or is planning to use.
NYPASSEXPRESS EXPEDITO- This is a great deal for anyone who needs their passport expedited because of travel plans, job transfer, moving, etc. And it is also cheaper than other services out there (most likely your local US office). My experience was great with this company. I just had it mailed directly to me and it was delivered within a couple of days and it came out all perfect. The process was not hard at all and it takes less than 2 weeks. I would definately try this company out because it has been good for me. I will give them 5 stars in my review.
EXPRESS PASS EXECUTED- This is the option I normally go with. The process has been longer with this option, as I went through this one last year and the wait time was about 3 weeks. I can't speak about how quick it was and how nice it was in service since I had already gone through before. It will take about 3 weeks. I would definitely read reviews to see if someone else did not get good service. I would give this option 4 stars, but the 3-week wait would probably deter some people.
US PASSPORT EXCELLENCE- They are very good, I have done two passports with them. They can actually expedite even on a weekend. I would give them 5 stars for the speed. When you send in your application package the package must be mailed within a certain time frame after application. If the mail is late they will contact you or come to your home. The whole process was very easy.
How fast can I get a passport in NY?
I recently went back to New York to visit my hometown because I was getting married.
My husband and I didn't know whether we needed a passport or not. We only spent 2 days there, as we flew out right after our wedding! How hard is it to get a passport in NY? I have all my documents listed (and proof that we are still together in case there is any reason for questions) so will the passport come faster now if I have all the papers in front of them? Also I am asking because my friend's passport renewal took a few months to come. The woman I went to the embassy with said it would be 30 days. When they do an appointment for you, what happens then? Do they tell you anything that's happening before the appointment or when it is happening (I thought I was due like 3-4 weeks ago but the lady didn't mention it) - I don't remember seeing a time stamp on her website. What do you mean you take 2 months? The only thing my friend had was the old passport and an interview form to fill out, but that didn't take two months.
Anyhow, this is really important, I just need to know how hard is it to get a passport quickly and what happens during the entire process. There is some money I want to pay if its easy, but I also want to make sure it doesn't take months - we will be getting married the end of February, so any suggestions please! We've all been there waiting for the passport office to open hours before and then all of a sudden opening it and then closing it again and then opening it etc. Just go, get it done. That is what it is suppose to be about.
A couple months ago it was getting harder to renew a passport in NYC, probably because of the new immigration laws that allow people from here to stay here illegally for a period of time. I think there were 6 months before they were allowed to travel.

Can you get your passport the same day in New York?
Yes, we can provide same day service.
For an additional fee we will add you to our express line which allows you to leave the airport within three hours. We can also expedite your processing time at the border or other points.
What about expedited processing?Do you offer expedited processing?Yes, we can provide expedited service for an additional fee. We can also provide a waiver for your passport application if necessary. This service is particularly useful if you are traveling out of the US. It will cut your processing time from 6-12 weeks to approximately 30 days. To qualify for expedited service, you will need to have a bona fide business reason for traveling to the US. A valid business reason can be a job interview, visiting family or friends, going to a trade show or other corporate event, or for humanitarian purposes. This will be noted on your application. Please note that expedited service will not guarantee entry or expedited processing at the border. Once our agent receives your completed application they submit it to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for an expedited response. Each case is unique and each CBP officer makes decisions based on local priorities and time of day. CBP cannot always honor an expedited request because they are forced to prioritize the number of people they process daily, the size of their detention centers and the time of day they want to do their work. There is no guarantee of an expedited response.
Am I obligated to pay expedited fees?Yes, expedited fees are payable in addition to all regular fees. We also advise you to contact us prior to leaving for your destination as an additional precaution should any issues arise. If you would like to consider expedited processing please call 1-800-USA-FORM (8477) 24 hours in advance of departure.
Can you provide expedited processing or waiver for me?Yes, we can expedite processing if you have an official reason for going to the US. You must provide proof of this in writing. If you need further information, please call 1-800-USA-FORM (8477) for more information. If you would like to speak to someone who can assist you call 1-800-USA-FORM (8477). Your application will be reviewed by our expediting team to ensure that you qualify for expedited processing. An expedited approval could result in a decision by the end of the day.
