The following items must be presented to an authorized passport clerk who will in turn adjudicate the application and place documentation inside an envelope which will be sealed and cannot be opened except by another passport clerk -otherwise rendering all documents void. Check with your local Post Office or county building to see if there is a clerk at that location.

What needs to be inside your sealed envelope from the post office or county building:

• 1 original (no photocopies or faxes)completed DS-11 Application form completed online, printed and signed
• Certified or original copy of the applicants birth certificate or naturalization certificate
• 2 Passport Quality Photographs
• Expert Visa Letter of Authorization (If this is not included you passport will be flat mailed directly back to you and Expert Visa will not be able to check on the process of your application)
• Check to US. Department of State to pay for your expedited passport (see below for fees)
• Flight Itinerary (If passport is needed in less than 2 weeks)
• Applicants under 16 must appear with both parents or legal guardians. Parent or Legal Guardian must have a valid Government issued photo ID.
• If one parent or legal guardian cannot be present a DS-3053 Statement of Consent or Special Circumstances Issuance of a passport to a minor under age 16 may be completed.
• Applicants that are 16 or 17 must appear in person and be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and present a Government issued photo ID.
• The Parent or Guardian will be asked to provide parental consent for the applicant to have a passport.
• Check or money order for $120.00 payable to the U.S. Dept of State. (If check is for a different amount or no check is in the sealed envelope the application will be delayed in processing.)

What should be outside your sealed envelope:

• Expert Visa Cover Sheet

We do not see the documents inside your sealed envelope so the cover sheet must be included outside the sealed envelope. Please write on the envelope or cover sheet your full name, Date of Birth, Departure Date and Contact Phone Number.

NOTE: All instructions on the passport application and attached pages must be read. If the U.S. Passport agency feels they have not been read they will not issue a passport.

$140.00 + $25.00(execution fee) for minors under 16 (new fee effective for any application received 7/12/2010)

$175.00 + $25.00(execution fee) for applicants 16 and older (new fee effective for any application received 7/12/2010)

Processing three weeks and under, Expert Visa is only allowed by the U.S. Passport Agency to submit expedited passport applications, payment for the passport must be made at the time of the personal appearance or the application will go into suspense until the application can be paid. For applicants not wishing to pay the expedite fee they may have the passport clerk at their post office forward their documents to the passport agency.

Non-expedited passports are $80.00 (for applicants under 16)$110.00 plus $25.00 (execution fee). Expert Visa is not allowed to submit non-expedited applications. If you pay the non-expedited rate your application must be sent directly to the passport agency by the passport clerk. If a non-expedited application is submitted through Expert Visa applicants will be charged the additional $60.00 Government expedite fee.
