Before you travel abroad...

Interested in renewing or applying for your passport...here's a link to the U.S. State Department's website...http://travel.state.gov
Right now it's a 4 to 6 week wait for passport requests ($75 per application)...an additional $60 for those who wish to expedite their application (2-3 week wait).

Here's a quick tip....if you can't wait a couple of weeks...drop off your application in person at your nearest passport agency. Our nearest one happens to be in Dallas, Texas. As long as you can prove your situation is urgent...the State Department will issue a passport to you within a couple of hours (make sure to call ahead and make an appointment))...again, that's only in an emergency. Another option involves expediting companies (www.uspassportnow.com) ...they charge a couple hundred dollars to do the work for you...should you go this route...you could be waiting for your passport anywhere between 24 hours and 2 weeks.
