Pompano Beach travelers have several options. Here's how they compare — and why most choose a registered U.S. Department of State passport courier agency.
3 Ways to Get a U.S. Passport
Option 1
Registered Courier
Urgent
2–9 Days
Standard
3–5 Weeks
The U.S. Department of State created the registered courier program to give travelers another option. For urgent travel, registered couriers have daily submission availability that can deliver passports in as little as 2–9 days. For travelers with more time, a 3–5 week service provides personalized support throughout the entire process.
Option 2
Post Office / Mail-In
1–2 Months
The DIY route is the option most travelers know. Apply at a local acceptance facility or renew by mail or online when eligible. It's often the lowest-cost option and works well if you have plenty of time before your trip. If an issue is discovered after submission, you'll be notified by USPS and your application will be placed on hold until the problem is resolved by mail. Not recommended within 30 days of departure.
Option 3
Regional Agency
24 Hours
Emergency-only in-person visits at a U.S. Department of State Passport Agency. Requires a confirmed NPIC appointment and documented urgent travel with proof. Applicants should expect to spend most of the day at the agency and may be instructed to return the following business day to pick up their passport.
