The USPS (United States Postal Service) is the standard service for accepting passport applications for the United States Department of State. For first-time passport applicants, the application must be applied for in-person at a USPS location with passport services. An appointment may be necessary which can be made online. Those looking to renew or replace a lost or stolen passport may mail their application directly to the US Department of State. The wait time from beginning to end can take up to 4-6 weeks. Applicants must bring the following to the post office when applying for a passport:
- Required U.S. Passport Forms – Forms should be filled out but not signed. Signing needs to be witnessed by a post office employee.
- Passport Photos – Your local CVS or Walgreens typically has a service to take passport photos.
- A money order payable to the “U.S. Department of State”
- A photocopy of a state-issued ID

Due to the disaster, all of their personal belongings were lost and damaged, including their passport. In this situation, they could try to order a passport that day in order to return to the US quickly to treat their injuries.
