As you probably know, the situation with the COVID-19 Coronavirus Emergency is quite fluid with new directives being issued by the U.S. Department of State.
Expedited Passport Services in Less Than 2 Weeks
The regional Passport Agencies, under the direction of the U.S. Department of State, have ordered that such expedited Passport services shall now only be available under the following conditions:
Life-or-death emergencies are serious illnesses, injuries, or deaths in
your immediate family (e.g. parent, sibling, aunt, uncle, etc) that
require you to travel outside the United States within 72 hours (3
days).
To obtain an expedited Passport in less than 2 weeks, the traveler must meet the following conditions:
- Proof of the Life-or-Death Emergency
Support documents include: a death certificate, a statement from a mortuary, or a signed letter from a hospital or medical professional. Documents should be translated or in English. - Proof of International Travel
