Expedited Passport Service. Expedited processing is an optional service available to those who cannot wait 4 to 6 weeks to get a passport. The estimated time to expedite an application by mail or through an application acceptance facility is 2 to 3 weeks.
Additionally, if you submit an expedited application by mail, you must clearly write the word EXPEDITE on the outside of the envelope. If you fail to do this, there's a chance your passport will not be processed as an expedited application, resulting in your receiving it after the six-week mark.rocessing times do not include delivery times. If the system still indicates that your passport is processing, this unfortunately means that you will need to wait for both the processing to be completed and the passport to be shipped to you.
