Understanding all your Fees
You will have several fees: Government Fees, Company Fees, and USPS Fees. Not all will apply to you. The information below will help explain what you will be required to pay for your passport.
GOVERNMENT FEES Your government fees are paid regardless of applicant type. If you are renewing, applying for a first-time passport, or replacing a lost/stolen passport, all applicants must pay for this fee. Your government fee can only be paid with a Money Order or Cashier Check. They are to be made payable to the: U.S. Department of State. You cannot abbreviate it to “Dept”, it will be denied.
COMPANY FEES We offer three speeds for all expediting passport clients. All speeds are GUARANTEED. Working days are only Monday through Friday. Weekends and federal holidays are not working days. There are times where DOS will place your application on hold to ask for more additional documents to clarify something. If DOS requests any additional documentation from you, they will email both of us. Occasionally, depending on the severity of their findings, DOS will communicate directly with you and not CC us. These are rare cases like IRS debts, Child Support Arrears, False Birth Reports, or Criminal Warrants. If you receive an email like this, please notify us immediately.
USPS FEES This fee is $35, and can be paid with debit/credit card at your assigned USPS appt. This fee only applies to clients who will require an OATH, also known as ID Verification. This is a government-mandated step for all first-time passport clients, and for clients who lost their most recent passport or had it stolen. This step only takes 10-15 minutes: you sign in front of an agent, and they seal all your documents inside an envelope. Your envelope must be given to our company for processing.

Step 3 – If you are a first time passport applicant (or require a DS11), you will have to do an person appointment to verify your ID and sign in front of an agent. This appointment is done at a USPS office and will take approximately 10-15 minutes. At this office, a passport agent will verify your identity, and give you back all your documents inside a taped/sealed envelope. DO NOT OPEN IT! Once your appointment is done, drop off your sealed envelope to: PassportWorld, 1006 Raindrop Creek Ln., Conroe, TX, 77304. Please note, If you are renewing your passport (using the DS82 application), you will not have an in person appointment, and this step is not necessary for you.
