How long to get a new passport in the US? - Corridor of modern building with glass walls

If I am in the US, am US citizen with a US passport, and my passport was lost, how long would it take to get a new one, if I can spend a lot of money? I see services online such as "rushmypassport", but I don't know if these are legitimate or if they just speed up the delivery process, once the passport has been made by the government. To clarify, I'm wondering how long the whole process will take.



Best Answer

You have two options that can speed up your passport:

An expedited processing option - This process can speed up the processing time from 4 to 6 weeks to 2 to 3 weeks. This will be an extra fee of $60.

Details can be viewed on the GOV website:

An expedited service - From a Google Search, some view services like Rushmypassport as not useful (some haven't had their passport returned for example), and no different to using the expedited service, whilst others recommend the service and say that it was useful.
