A. FIGURE YOUR FEES USING OUR FEE CALCULATOR
Normally, there is no fee for this service. You just mail in the required documents directly to the U.S. State Department (The address is on the form). However, this process will take 4-6 weeks. In choosing to use International Passport Visas, Inc. to expedite your passport, you must then pay an expedite fee to the U.S. government. They add this fee to any service they provide. Normally it is free; when expedited they charge $60.00. This fee is more like a penalty fee, and is in addition to the fee that we charge. Our fees are for services we provide when standing in line at a Federal Passport Agency for many hours. This is the most assured way to guarantee the fastest possible issuance of your United States Passport.
