Passport Question??
Is it better to expedite my passport through a private service or through the dept. of state? I read some of the posts but it seems not many people have used a private service. Is it worth it? I leave in 29 days. Thanks

leaving in 29 days and just trying to get a passport? LOL
Visited the US Virgin Islands a couple months ago, great place to go if u don't have a passport. The good thing is that if you look towards the sky going North East you can see planes flying over with people on their way to Europe.

If I used any service I would want to know if there are any guarantees and I would ask (the non-State Department one[s])..
"What makes you <b>better</b> than the State Department expedited service?" and then make a final decision.

oh well....I was hoping to get responses from people who actually used the service or used the dept. of state. system and compare. Trying to get an honest answer by asking either one probably won't happen since there is competition between the two. Thanks anyway.

Thanks Ira,
As usual you are very helpful. I have looked at the site and it does say 2-3 weeks delivery time from the date of application, but this is a government agency a getting things done in the promised time is not always the case! I read on here somewhere that a woman fed-ex the documents along with a fed-ex pre-paid return envelope. I may try that. Thoughts?
