Coloradans who are looking for getting a passport in Colorado must read this guide to find answers to their questions.

Colorado Passport Facilities

There are 145 local Passport Acceptance Agent Offices in 115 Colorado Cities. Around 31,000 residents start their passports processing at these offices each year.

If you need your passport as soon as possible, you can visit Colorado Passport Agency, in Aurora and get your passport the same day. You can also hire an expediting service if you are too busy or if you live far away.

The Types of Services

There are two types of services; routine services and expedited services.

Routine Services

You will have your passport in more than 7 to 10 weeks, and you have no reason to hurry up the process.

Expedited Services

There are several types of expedited services. Here are all of them.

Expedition at a Passport Agency or Center

You should make an appointment by calling the passport agency or center. Download the form you need and fill it according to the service you need. Form DS-11 and Form DS-82 (Renewal Form) should be submitted with your documents. 

Expedition at a Passport Acceptance Facility

Only Form DS-11 can be submitted at passport acceptance facilities. You cannot renew your passport at a local passport acceptance facility.

Collect all the documents needed including the expedite fee ($60) and the regular fee.

Call the facility before going to make sure whether an appointment is necessary or not.

Expedition a Renewal by Mail

Renewing your passport requires a Form DS-82. You can complete and mail in the form. If you have an urgent international journey, you should apply with this form in person at the passport agency or center. Local passport acceptance facilities will not accept renewal forms.

When you mail your documents, mark the word “EXPEDITE” on the envelope.

OF course, include the expedition fee and the standard fee.

Notice that the 1-2 Day Delivery is not included in the expedition fee. There are other faster ways for shipping your documents by the 1-2 Day Delivery Service.

How Does it Work?

Select the Processing Option
