Fees and Payment

You will be making payments to the U.S. passport agency, a federally authorized witnessing facility and to our company. The fees for our services are hand carry and submitting your passport documents to the passport agency and to pick up your passport when completed. This is the most assured way to guarantee the fastest possible issuance of your United States Passport.


STEP 2: Procedure

In order to apply for an expedited U.S. passport you must first have your signature witnessed by an acceptable authority. Normally this is done by certain Post Offices and County Clerks. For a listing of the closest Acceptance Agent near you click here.
Before going for witnessing to the acceptance agent, be sure to have the following documents with you:

• Application Form DS -11 fully completed, but left unsigned
• Proof of Citizenship
• Proof of Identity
• Two recent identical Passport Photographs
• Letter of Authorization for A-1 Passport & Visa Express (Notice form)
• Proof of travel

IMPORTANT: Make copies of all the above seven (7) documents mentioned above.


Fees

Bring all above original materials to a Passport Acceptance Facility and notify the agent you are using an expediting service to "hand carry" your application. Most facilities are open M-F, 10am to 4pm. The acceptance agent will take about ten minutes to go through the following steps:

• To verify your identity, the agent will request your proof of identity.
• The agent will ask you to sign the DS-11, and then will witness your signature and seal ALL documents in an envelope for Hand-Carrying.
• To verify that you need an expedited passport, you must provide evidence of your departure date.
• The agent will then seal the DS-11, photos, proof of citizenship, Letter of authorization, Proof of travel and the $127 check in an envelope marked "To be opened by U.S. Passport Office Only" and return to you.
• Important: Make sure the agent returns the sealed envelope to you. If the agent does not feel at ease about releasing the envelope, suggest that he/she refer to page 31 or 44 of their Passport Agent's Manual, "Hand-carrying of Executed Applications".

IMPORTANT: Do not open this sealed envelope or the application will be invalidated.

Please write the following on the outside of the sealed envelope:

1.Applicant's Name
2.Date of Birth
3.Departure Date

IMPORTANT: DO NOT SEAL THE ORDER FORM or payment for OUR services (A-1 Passport & Visa Express) inside the sealed envelope, they should be paper clipped outside of your sealed envelope along with the rest of the copies made earlier.

STEP 3: Place the following documents in a FedEx Priority Letter.

• Sealed Government Envelope
