The U.S. Department of State is offering faster processing times for U.S. passports for customers.
Now, the routine processing of a passport application is now seven to 10 weeks, down from 10 to 13 weeks. The expeditated processing – for the additional $60 fee – is now three to five, down from seven to nine weeks. The processing times begin the day the U.S. Department of State receives the application at the passport agency or center, not the day the customer applies for a passport at an acceptance facility.
Additionally, the U.S. Department of State is no longer using door-to-door timeframes to calculate the estimate routine and expedited service times, as mail times vary across the country.
The City of McAllen Passport Facility is located at 221 South 15th Street. Walk-ins are accepted on a first come, first-serve basis Monday through Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. If an appointment is preferred, call ahead to 956-681-1450.
