Expedited Passports & Visas Urgent Matters Fast Results

A passport is a document, issued by a national government, which certifies, for the purpose of international travel, the identity and nationality of its holder. A passport does not entitle its bearer to entry into another country – each country has its own entry requirements and for entry to many countries travelers need to carry an entry visa in addition to the passport.

A visa is a permission granted by a foreign government for the bearer to enter that country and to remain there for a specific period of time. Visas are issued by the Embassies or Consulates of the countries, to which a person intends to travel. Allstate Passports & Visas helps process visas for US citizens and permanent residents to most countries of the world.

A United States passport can only be issued by the US Department of State, Passport Agencies that are part of the State Department structure and Foreign Service Posts (US Embassies and Consulates) designated by the US Secretary of State. Agencies that provide passport services in the USA, such as Allstate Passports and Visas, submit passport applications on the traveler’s behalf to the authorized issuing offices, and help facilitate expedited passport processing.

Allstate Passports and Visas will make every effort to ensure that you get your passport in time for your trip. Processing times listed on our website are provided by the US Department of State under normal circumstances. Allstate Passports and Visas cannot always guarantee, however, that your passport will be returned to you by a certain date, because it is ultimately at the discretion of the US Passport Agency as to when your passport will be released. Sometimes a Passport Agency becomes overwhelmed with the amount of applications they receive and this translates into longer processing times. Also, US Passport Agency may request additional documents at their own discretion. In such cases processing time will also be extended. Equipment failure is also among the causes that can lead to a delay. Nevertheless, we do our absolute best to get the paperwork processed on time and without delay.

A visa is a permission granted by a foreign government for the bearer to enter that country and to remain there for a specific period of time. Visas are issued by the Embassies or Consulates of the countries, to which a person intends to travel. Most visas are usually a stamp or a sticker placed on one of the pages in a traveler’s passport. Allstate Passports & Visas helps process visas for US citizens and permanent residents to most countries of the world.

Visa requirements listed on this website pertain to US citizens. Allstate Passports & Visas can help with visa processing for most foreign nationals who are also permanent residents of the USA or are in the USA on a work or student visa. However, visa requirements may differ from those for US citizens, so we ask foreign nationals to contact us prior to sending in any application materials to reconfirm the requirements and service availability.

Yes, with the possible exception of Australia, Turkey, Kenya, Uganda (e-visa processing applies) visas to all countries require the passport to be in our possession.

When the visa is ready, we will pickup the passport with the visa stamped in it and will mail it back to you according to the shipping option you selected.

Generally no. Almost all foreign Consulates require that there be a completely blank Visa page, free of any stamps or markings.
