Travel Tips Tuesday!
Q: Are you traveling soon and need to get a passport book quickly?
A: You can expedite your application without using a courier to receive a passport book back within 2-3 weeks for an additional $60. Courier's often charge hundreds of dollars in addition to the expedite fee that you don't need to pay. There is also an option of going to the Buffalo Passport Processing Center if you need the passport sooner than the 2-3 weeks. Contact our office for more information, 585-265-3770.
