Travel the World Visas can assist with expedite passport processing (within 5 business days)  Strictly by appointment only, please email us at brigitte@world-visa.com or or call 202-223-8822 for appointment.

Effective September 26, 2005, as an additional security enhancement, Passport Services will no longer amend valid passports. Instead, customers requesting name changes, extension of validity for limited passports, or correction of a printing error will apply for replacement passports.

Printing errors and spelling errors, including incorrect name, gender, or place of birth, can be corrected at any time while the passport is still valid.

• If reported within one year of issuance, a new, corrected passport will be issued, which will be valid for 10 years from the date the new, correct book is issued.
• If reported after one year of issuance, the new, corrected passport will be valid until the expiration date of the original, incorrect passport.

Please follow the procedure accordingly to avoid processing delay. An incomplete or incorrectly completed application will delay the issuance of the passport.

Please send the following documents to Travel the World Visas for processing:

1. Actual passport that needs correction
2. Two recent original passport size photographs (2” x 2”) on a white background (click here for the regulations for acceptable passport-type photograph)
