Courier and Expeditor Companies

Courier companies, or “passport expeditors,” are private companies. Some of these companies may submit applications and pick up passports for customers.

Thinking of using a courier company? Here are a few things you should know:

  • On this page, you can find a list of companies registered with the U.S. Department of State. 
  • These companies do not operate as a part of the U.S. Department of State. 
  • If you use a courier company, you will not receive your passport faster than applying at one of our passport agencies. 
  • Courier companies charge extra fees for their services. 
  • We do not charge a fee to make an appointment. If you are asked to pay, consider the request to be fraudulent. We are not affiliated with any third-party appointment booking services. We may not be able to honor appointments booked via third parties. Do not attempt to book two appointments.
  • If you are applying using Form DS-11, you still must appear in person at an acceptance facility. You will also need to provide extra information, such as proof of urgent international travel. 
  • You cannot submit an application online through a courier company.

A company must register at each passport agency or center in which it delivers passport applications and picks up completed passports on behalf of customers. If you are interested in registering your company, email PassportCourierInfo@state.gov.
