    No. APVI is a private company registered with the U.S. Department of State to expedite passport applications. We charge a service fee in addition to government fees. You can also apply directly through the government for free, but standard processing takes 6–8 weeks.

    It depends on the service. After you place your order, an APVI specialist sends you a personalized checklist for your situation. Common items include your most recent passport, a passport photo, and a completed application form.

    No. APVI service fees are separate from government fees, which are paid directly to the U.S. Department of State. The full cost breakdown — service fee, government fee, shipping — is shown before you check out.

    After our specialist reviews your online application, we email you a prepaid overnight FedEx label. You drop your documents at any FedEx location, and we handle everything from there.

    Contact the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate immediately for an emergency travel document. Once you're back in the U.S., APVI can help you replace the lost passport with a permanent one.
