Passports

A normal passport may take up to 4-6 weeks. If you are leaving in less than 6 weeks, you may expedite the passport application (2-3 weeks processing time) by paying an additional $60.00 expedite fee per passport. This fee is in addition to the cost of the passport.

*Mailing times are not included in processing times. Processing times only include the time your application is at one of our passport agencies or centers. The total time to get your passport includes both processing and mailing times. It may take up to 2 weeks for applications to arrive by mail at a passport agency or center, and up to 2 weeks for you to receive a completed passport in the mail after agency prints it. Consider the total time it will take to receive your passport when you are booking travel.

For passports needed in less than 2 weeks, call the Minneapolis Passport Agency to schedule an in person appointment. (877) 487-2778
