Local Area
Hattiesburg, known as the Hub City of South Mississippi, is the educational, medical, and cultural capital of the Pine Belt region. Home to the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) and William Carey University, Hattiesburg generates significant international passport demand from a highly educated, mobile population of students, researchers, and healthcare professionals.
USM's campus of over 14,000 students is one of the state's most active generators of international passport activity. The university's study abroad programs send students to the UK, Italy, Japan, Australia, Costa Rica, and dozens of other countries each semester. USM faculty also travel internationally for research collaborations, Fulbright programs, and academic conferences. The USM International Education office processes hundreds of study abroad applicants each year — nearly all of whom need current passports.
William Carey University, with its strong nursing and healthcare programs, regularly sends students and faculty on international medical mission trips to underserved communities in Haiti, Honduras, and sub-Saharan Africa. These trips often have firm departure dates, making expedited passport processing critical for participants who discover an expired passport late in the planning process.
The Hattiesburg medical community — centered around Forrest General Hospital and Merit Health Wesley — employs thousands of physicians, nurses, and administrators with international medical conference and mission travel needs. The New Orleans cruise port, just 1.5 hours south on Interstate 59, is the most popular gateway for Hattiesburg families planning Caribbean vacations. With our courier service, no Hattiesburg traveler needs to make that drive in a passport emergency — we handle everything remotely and deliver to your door.
