There are only a few McAllen passport offices where applications for a new passport (Form DS-11) can be submitted. Applications for other passport services - renewals, name changes, and corrections, etc. - do not require you to appear before an agent. After the application is adjudicated and placed in a sealed envelope along with the supporting documents, you need to mail it to the processing center.
You can expect to get your passport in approximately 4 to 6 weeks if there are no errors on the form and the supporting documents are acceptable. Otherwise, you can expect delays. Applicants who need to get passport quicker can request expedited service. This process takes 2 to 3 weeks. Those who need to get their travel document in 2 weeks or less can arrange a visit to the Houston Passport Agency. If an appointment is not available before your departure date or you do not have time to personally visit the agency, you can use the services of a registered expediter to get a passport in 24 to 48 hours.
