I'll be traveling in less then a month, and, like a total dumbass, I've put off getting my passport. According to the USPS website, you can get your passport "expedited" for a $60 fee, and receive the document in a couple weeks. However, I found out today that they have a tremendous backlog, and expedited passports are now taking closer to 4 weeks. This is obviously cutting it a bit too close for comfort.<br> <br> So, I do a google on <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=us+Passports&btnG=Search">US passports</a> and all of these passport expediting services come up. Are these services legit? They promise to obtain a passport within days or weeks. <a href="http://www.passportexpress.com/?affid=Google">This place</a> is even a member of the Better Business Bureau.<br> <br> The whole thing seems legit, but still, I wonder.... tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.61769 Tue, 01 May 2007 17:51:29 -0800 passport expediting passportexpediting expeditedpassport travel documentation passports identification Afroblanco
