Passports, Promptly

For those of you out there without valid passports, I've got good news for foreign travel and spontaneity. Passport Express will now offer a seven-day turnaround service on U.S. passports for travelers taking international flights. If your impulsiveness — or last-minute labor — limits even the brevity of a week, you can also pay more for 24-hour expediting service available.

Handling this process online will take between seven and ten days; however, the website touts passport and visa experts who will work with the U.S. Passport Agency to facilitate these last-minute overseas trips.

With added restrictions on international travel, it is good to know that there is a service out there to help travelers navigate these restrictions and cross borders sans problem.
