Here’s what you need to know about our expedited passport services, government requirements, processing times, and other frequently asked questions.
What is a passport?
A passport is an official government-issued document that verifies a person’s identity and nationality, enabling them to travel internationally. It typically contains the holder’s full name, date of birth, photograph, signature, and other identifying details. Passports are essential for crossing borders, as they serve as proof of citizenship and are frequently required for entry into foreign countries. Additionally, they may include visas or stamps issued by other nations, which grant permission to enter or remain in those countries for a specific period. As a globally recognized form of identification, passports are a fundamental requirement for international travel.
Where do I check the status of my passport application?
To monitor the progress of your application, the standard process typically involves visiting the official website of the U.S. Department of State and using their online tracking system. This requires entering your last name, date of birth, and the last four digits of your Social Security number.
Via simplifies this process significantly. Our platform provides continuous, 24/7 monitoring of your application, delivering real-time updates directly to your personalized dashboard. You’ll also receive notifications via email and text messages, ensuring you’re always informed about any changes or developments. This eliminates the need to manually navigate government portals, offering a seamless and efficient way to stay updated on your application’s status.
Will my passport need at least 6 months of validity to travel?
Passports for individuals aged 16 and older are valid for 10 years, while passports for children (ages 0-15) are valid for 5 years.
Certain countries have a policy that mandates your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the duration of your trip. Additionally, some airlines may deny boarding if this condition is not met.
How long does it take to get a passport?
Standard passport processing typically takes 6 to 10 weeks. For faster service, expedited processing reduces the wait to 2–3 weeks for an additional $60 fee. In urgent cases, same-day service is available by scheduling an in-person appointment at one of 25 regional passport agencies.
Alternatively, using a passport expediting service eliminates the need for appointments and can deliver your passport in 1–12 days, depending on the speed of service selected. Platforms like VIA further streamline the process, offering error-free submissions with AI assistance and expedited renewals in as little as 2 days.
What do I need for a passport application?
The documents and steps required for a passport application depend on your specific situation. For example, first-time applicants and children have different requirements compared to those renewing an existing passport. In most cases, you will need the following:
Completed Application Form
Proof of US Citizenship
Passport Photo that adheres to strict government guidelines
Proof of Identity
Application Fees
Is a passport required to go travel outside of the US?
Yes, you need a valid passport to travel outside of the United States. You’ll need a passport to board an international flight and enter the country.
