What’s an Instant Passport?

An instant passport is obtained quickly through expedited processing, but there is no literal instant passport. Same day passports and expedited processing services are legitimate, but scams exist. These scams offer low or high prices, illegal benefits, and other documents. It is best to deal directly with proper authorities to avoid scams.

An instant passport is a travel document that is secured quickly, usually by paying for expedited processing. There is no literal instant passport; no real passport can be printed by filling out a form and then printing it. Same day passports, passports made available in a week or two, and passport services that attempt to expedite the process for customers are some legitimate instances of an instant passport. However, it’s important to be wary of instant passport scams, which usually demand large amounts of money for fake or stolen documents.

The term same-day passport can be misleading. This type of passport generally requires an applicant to have all of their forms filled out, with an appropriate photo. Then he or she must make an appointment at a passport facility to visit in person, but this appointment may need to be paid for two to three weeks in advance. Once the correct documents have been delivered, the applicant continues with their day and returns to the facility later in the day to collect their passport. If the documents have been delivered too late, the passport will probably be available the next day rather than the same.

Some passport facilities allow applicants to expedite the processing of their passport applications by a significant amount. Speeding up the processing of an application and creating a passport can be very costly. On the other hand, the applicant is guaranteed to have his travel document within a certain number of days, for example a week. Whether this is allowed in a particular region depends on the country and its laws. Some countries already have fast turnaround times for passport applications and do not have or plan to implement a priority system.

Instant passport scams can be spotted on the internet if a person looks closely enough. People who sell scam passports usually offer surprisingly low prices, very high prices or illegal benefits to buyers. For example, some instant passport scammers offer other illegitimate documents, such as birth certificates, in combination with an instant passport. Another warning sign of a potential scam is the offer of diplomatic or other unusual benefits with the purchase of an instant passport. In general, passport scams like these can be avoided by dealing directly with the proper authorities and avoiding seemingly too-good-to-be-true deals.
