Service Disclaimer | 48 Hour Passport Expediting

mportant Information About Our Passport Expediting Service

48HourPassport.com is a private passport-expediting service operated by Legal Passport LLC.

We are not the U.S. Department of State, a U.S. Passport Agency, or another government agency, and we do not issue U.S. passports.

The U.S. Department of State has exclusive authority to approve, deny, restrict, revoke, or issue a U.S. passport.

Passport Issuance Is Determined by the U.S. Government

48HourPassport.com assists customers with preparing passport applications and coordinating qualifying Courier submissions.

Final adjudication of every passport application is performed by the U.S. Department of State.

The Passport Agency may request additional information or documentation before making a final decision.

A request for additional information can delay processing beyond the estimated service time.

Tell Us About Unusual Circumstances Before Submission

Some legal, financial, citizenship, identity, or passport-history issues may affect passport processing.

Tell your Passport Specialist before submitting your application if you are aware of circumstances that may affect your eligibility or require additional documentation.

Examples may include:

  • Significant unpaid child support
  • Seriously delinquent federal tax debt
  • Current or previous probation or parole issues
  • A court or law-enforcement restriction involving a passport
  • Questions concerning U.S. citizenship evidence
  • Identity-document problems
  • Multiple previously lost or stolen passports
  • Government requests for additional documentation

Not every legal issue prevents passport issuance. Requirements depend on the applicant’s individual circumstances and applicable federal law and regulations.

Additional Government Documentation

The Passport Agency may place an application on hold or request additional documents if it cannot complete adjudication based on the information originally submitted.

Examples may include requests involving:

  • Citizenship evidence
  • Identification
  • Birth records
  • Name information
  • Parental or custody documentation
  • Lost or stolen passport history
  • Other information needed to establish passport eligibility

If the government requests additional information, we will explain the request to the customer when the information is made available to us.

The customer is responsible for supplying requested documents within any deadline established by the U.S. Department of State.

Processing Times

48HourPassport.com provides expedited passport assistance and Courier coordination.

Our urgent service is designed to achieve approximately 2–3 days of Passport Agency processing, plus return shipping time for properly prepared qualifying applications.

This is a service objective, not a guarantee that the U.S. Department of State will issue every passport within a specific period.

Government requests for additional documentation, eligibility questions, emergencies, weather, transportation disruptions, carrier delays, or other circumstances can affect timing.

Travel Plans

Customers should understand that passport issuance remains subject to U.S. Department of State approval.

48HourPassport.com cannot guarantee that a passport will be issued in time for a particular flight, cruise, tour, hotel reservation, or other travel arrangement.

Travelers may wish to consider appropriate travel insurance for expenses that could result from delays, cancellations, or changes in travel plans.
