Passport Expediting Tips
A request for passport expediting is done for two reasons: crises or convenience. Either you find yourself in an emergency situation that requires you to have your passport processed within a few days or less or you just prefer paying for quick, effecient service.
Passport expediting has been compared to traveling in business class. It costs more but it comes with a lost of priviledges. If you're going to pay, make sure you get your money's worth. Here are some tips from my experience as an international traveler and recommendations based on my interaction with nearly forty travel document expediters.
Choose a service that offers a money-back guarantee. It's not that you want your money back. You don't. What you want is your passport processed and delivered to you before your departure date. But a company that doesn't offer a money-back guarantee doesn't take their responsiblity serious enough. If failure to get your passport returned to you will cost them money, you can bet they will give it all they got.
Look for an expediter that offers online tracking of your application. When you're in a crunch, anxiety can be minimized if you can know where your passport is along the path.
Give preference to passport expediting services that offer visitor-friendly web sites. You should look for good navigation, easy-to-follow instructions, online application forms, secure server for making payments and easily accessible contact information (preferably a toll-free number).
