SameDay Passport & Visas is a private passport and visa assistance service. The U.S. Department of State controls passport approval, appointment availability, and issuance.

Service Overview

Emergency new passport help is for travelers who need a passport quickly but cannot use a standard adult renewal path. This usually means you are applying for your first passport, your previous passport was issued when you were under 16, your passport is too old for renewal, or your passport is unavailable or too damaged.

The goal is to make the DS-11 process clear, prepare the documents correctly, and help you act quickly when the travel date is close.

Who Needs a New Passport Instead of a Renewal

You may need a new passport application if:

  • You have never had a U.S. passport
  • Your last passport was issued before you turned 16
  • Your last passport was issued more than 15 years ago
  • Your current passport is badly damaged
  • Your passport was lost or stolen
  • Your previous passport cannot be submitted with a renewal
  • Your name changed and you cannot document the change for renewal

documents to prepare

Documents To Prepare

  • Completed Form DS-11
  • Proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a certified birth certificate, naturalization certificate, or previous full-validity passport if available
  • Government-issued photo ID
  • Photocopy of ID
  • One compliant passport photo
  • Travel itinerary or proof of urgent travel
  • Government fee payments
  • Prior passport, if you have one
  • Supporting documents for name change or special circumstances, if applicable

What If You Do Not Have Every Document Yet?

Call before guessing. The missing document determines the next step. Some travelers need to obtain a certified birth certificate. Others need alternate citizenship evidence, ID photocopies, or name-change documents. SameDay Passport & Visas can help you identify the gap before you lose time at an appointment.

Your Questions Answered

SameDay Passport provides fast and reliable assistance with passport and travel visa applications. As a professional document preparation service, we guide you through the entire process, ensuring your application is completed accurately and meets all current requirements for faster processing.
 
Can I get a first-time passport the same day?

  • Same-day issuance may be possible only for qualifying urgent travel cases when an appointment is available and the documents are complete. The U.S. Department of State controls appointment availability and issuance.

  • Most new passport applicants use Form DS-11. Do not sign the form until instructed at the acceptance facility or passport agency.

  • Service help starts at $199 + government fees + shipping. Adult DS-11 passport book cases commonly include a $130 application fee and $35 acceptance fee. Expedited service is $60 if used.

  • Maybe. If your most recent passport was issued when you were 16 or older, was issued within the last 15 years, is undamaged, was never reported lost or stolen, and can be submitted, renewal may be possible. If not, you likely need DS-11.

  • Proof of travel is important for urgent agency appointment cases. Bring your itinerary or other accepted proof showing your deadline.

  • You may need to order a certified copy or provide alternate citizenship evidence. Call before scheduling if you are unsure.
