Texas Border Business
The U.S. Department of State is offering faster processing times for U.S. passports for customers who apply on or after December 18, 2023. Now, the routine processing of a passport application is now 6 to 8 weeks, down from 7to 10 weeks. The expeditated processing – for the additional $60 fee – is now 2 to 3 weeks, down from 3 to 5 weeks. The processing times begin the day the U.S. Department of State receives the application at the passport agency or center, not the day the customer applies for a passport at an acceptance facility. Additionally, the U.S. Department of State is no longer using door-to-door timeframes to calculate the estimate routine and expedited service times, as mail times vary across the country.
The City of McAllen Passport Facility is located at 221 S. 15th St. Walk-ins are accepted on a first come, first-serve basis Monday thru Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If an appointment is preferred, please call ahead to (956) 681-1450.
