It is preferable if you submit proof of departure. However if your plans are still not finalized you may follow our instructions and omit the "Proof of Departure" requirement. Your passport will still be processed in 6-9 business days.

If you need the passport for a business trip and will be booking your flight at the last minute you can submit a letter from your company in lieu of the itinerary or plane tickets. The letter must have the following: Please send two copies of this letter.

		The letter must be on Company Letterhead
		It must be signed by an official other than yourself
		Where you are traveling
		The purpose of your trip

Why you are not able to provide a flight itinerary*

		The specific date by which you must have your passport (i.e. the earliest possible date of travel or need)
		photocopies or faxes of the letter are acceptable

* Business travelers cannot book flights until the last minute for a number of reasons. (Some reasons include: Business travel will be booked on the first available flight upon receipt of the passport; Waiting to hear from the overseas client who will confirm a meeting time; Travel is contingent upon... and will occur as soon as the contingency is satisfied....)

Please call if you have any questions
