Quick, Get a Passport!

Need that passport renewed or issued by tomorrow? American Passport of Portsmouth N.H., can provide the forms, pricing, links to photographers and servicing on its site www.americanpassport. com. Due to federal regulations and security, users must still print the forms out and overnight them to American Passport for processing. In the latest enhancement to this four year old site, American Passport has added links to the nearest Mail Boxes Etc., Kinko’s and/or Sears that take passport photos. The company has also added a lower-cost level of service, with a fee of $40 for a turn around time of 10 days or more. One-day turn arounds carry a fee of $100 plus the government expedited fee of $35. There is also a $60 membership charge.
