FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT PASSPORT SERVICES

 * What is the Letter of Authorization?
   The Letter of Authorization gives VisaHQ permission to assist you with your
   passport request. We will need an original ink signed copy delivered to our
   office. A copy of the Letter of Authorization can be found at
   Letter of Authorization
 * If I am renewing my passport card, do I need to send it in with the
   documents?
   Yes, if you are requesting a renewal to your passport card you will need to
   send this along with the other documents on the checklist
 * Can I renew my passport now even if it is still valid?
   Yes, you can renew your passport while it is still valid provided there is a
   reason for doing so. If the passport contains no markings and is otherwise
   completely unused the traveler may need to provide a letter explaining as to
   why this service is being requested. VisaHQ recommends that you renew your
   passport prior to the final six months of validity as many countries will not
   permit travel with a passport containing fewer than six months validity
   remaining.
 * Do I need to pay the $211.36 US Department of State fee if I have already
   paid for your services?
   Yes, you do need to pay the $211.36 US Department of State fee for any
   passport request. For a new, lost, damaged, or passport for a child the fee
   will be included in your sealed documents. For a renewal, second passport, or
   name change VisaHQ can pay this fee on your behalf if you have requested it
   as part of your order.
 * I have two pages left in my passport endorsement and amendment pages can I
   have visas stamped on these pages?
   Visas cannot be stamped in endorsement or amendment pages. If you no longer
   have any passport pages which state 'visas' then you'll need to renew your
   passport in order to apply for a visa.
 * I need more pages added to my passport, how can I do this?
   The State Department has stopped adding passport pages since January 2016. If
   you need to obtain more pages for your passport you'll need to renew the
   passport instead. VisaHQ can assist you with this request by selecting
   passport renewal
 * I applied for a passport renewal through your site, I was supposed to get a
   DS-82 form, but printed a DS-11, why?
   The form generated on the State Department's website depends on your answers.
   If you were given a DS-11 (appplication for new passport) instead of a DS-82
   (passport renewal application) then it is likely that the traveler did not
   meet the criteria for a renewal. As such, your order with VisaHQ will need to
   be adjusted and the procedure for applying for your passport will change as a
   result.
 * Can I travel internationally by air with a passport card?
   No. Passport cards are only valid for land and sea travel to the countries of
   Canada, Mexico, The Carribean and Bermuda. If you need to travel
   internationally by air you will need to bring a passport valid for 6 months
   beyond your intended stay.
 * I applied for a passport card along with my passport book, but only received
   my passport book, where is my passport card?
   Passport cards are shipped back directly from the US Department of State to
   the home address on file within 2 weeks. If you have not received it within
   this timeframe please let us know.
 * Can I expedite a passport card through you?
   It is possible to get your passport card more quickly by utilizing our
   services, however, our processing times are for turnaround of the passport
   process. Generally, a passport card is shipped directly to the applicant's
   home address about one week after their passport is released from the
   Department of State
 * What is the department of state fee?
   The Department of State fee is the fee paid by VisaHQ to the US Passport
   Agency to expedite the renewal. This fee is required regardless of whether
   you apply through VisaHQ or apply on your own and is in addition to our
   service fee.
 * Why is the fee on the department of state website $130 and you ask for
   $211.36, what is the extra $81.36 for?
   The extra $60 is the cost of an expedited passport renewal. $130 is the cost
   of the standard 6-8 week renewal should you choose to apply directly with the
   Department of State. The $21.36 is the return shipping fee via USPS express
   mail 1-2 day delivery. The passport will be shipped back directly from the
   Department of State to the address provided on your Application form for the
   4-7 business days, and the 8-10 business days process.
 * Do I have to pay for shipping on the department of state website, if I
   already paid with VisaHQ?
   The Department of State website is purely to fill out the passport
   application form and does not billg any charges. Fees are explained while
   filling out the application but there is no payment collected during this
   process.
 * What do I select for processing on the passport products and fees page:
   standard, expedited or expedited at agency service?
   Expedited at agency is the appropriate selection when filling out the online
   passport application. However, if you've selected a different option the
   application generated is still useable just be sure to follow the
   instructions given to you by VisaHQ rather than the State Department
 * Do I need to provide my social security number on the passport application?
   What if my child does not have their social security number is this required?
   Your social security number is required for the application. If your child
   has not yet received their SSN they will need to wait until it is issued to
   them.
 * I am applying for a second passport, do I need to send in my primary passport
   as well?
   If this is your first time applying for a second passport you will need to
   send your original unexpired primary passport as part of the process. If you
   are renewing a second passport you can do this without sending the primary
   but you will still need the rest of the documents including the letter
   explaining the need for a second passport
 * Can I come into your office to apply for my passport?
   Yes, you can always come in to any of our offices for assistance with a
   passport request. However, due to the logistics of passport processing your
   documents will stil need to be mailed to our Washington DC office after we
   review your application.
 * Can I submit a handwritten passport application form?
   No. VisaHQ cannot submit handwritten passport application forms. In order for
   us to assist you you will need to fill out and sign the online application as
   listed on the US Department of State website here: https://pptform.state.gov/
 * Can I use the same picture the last time I applied for the passport?
   You cannot reuse a photo which was used in a previous passport. In order to
   apply you will need a new photograph taken within the last 6 months.

Mark B
I applied for my new passport using the 8-10 business days service. My passport
was submitted to the U.S. Passport Office on October 12, 2023. I received it in
the U.S. Mail on October 20, 2023! Wow! That was extremely fast! I was very
happy with the service and the results. Thank you very much! MB

Matthew G
VisaHQ did an exceptional job of expediting my passport. My contact, Michelle,
went above and beyond to ensure that my passport was renewed in time for my
trip.
