Current passport processing times are 4-6 weeks for routine service and 2-3 weeks for expedited service. These estimates do not include mailing time to and from the passport processing center.
Courier companies cannot deliver your passport faster than applying at a Passport Agency, and charge extra fees for their services.
If you are traveling soon, you may want to consider the expedited and urgent travel options available at your closest Passport Agency.
