FedEx to Offer Next Day Passport Service in U.S.

FedEx, through its FedEx Office stores, will offer an expedited passport service, the Plano, Texas, company said.

Travelers in dire need of a new passport can go to a FedEx Office location in the United States – there are over 2,000 – and request 24-hour, next-day, or other rush services. The FedEx stores also offer passport photos. The service is offered in partnership with RushMyPassport, a passport expediter.

The company is introducing the service because it has found that many people aren’t aware that their passports have expired or are close to expiring and, as a result, “scramble to find a last-minute solution.”

There are myriad reasons why a traveler might need a new passport, beyond overlooking the expiry date, including the theft or loss of a passport, passport damage, a change in name, or the need for a second passport for specific visa requirements.
