00:00Right now the turnaround on passports is worse than ever, with them taking on average 10-13 weeks to get after you apply.
00:07Even if you expedite the process, it can still take up to 9 weeks before you receive your document, which might be why CIBT Visas,
00:15a company which has historically offered passport expediting services to businesses and corporations, is now offering their services to the common American.
00:23They're now letting passport seekers speed up the process by weeks, saying through them, you can get a passport in only 1-3 days.
00:30So how much will it set you back?
00:32Well, depending on the situation, their fees range from $199 to $999, a far cry from the traditional expediting fee of $60 charged by the U.S. government.
00:44Though CIBT Visas is also offering a guarantee, hoping to provide an extra level of assurance and peace of mind to what can be a stressful process for many travelers.
00:53If that price tag is a bit too steep for you, the U.S. Department of State is now holding Passport Acceptance Fairs.
00:59They're passport expediting events held all over the country, where those in need of travel documents fast may attend and speed up the process.
