The Federal Government has established a specific set of rules that outlines exactly how this procedure must occur. Many travelers find this to be a confusing process, so we would like to stick to our basic value and demystify it. If you have any further questions about this process, please feel free to call Travel Visa Pro at (866) 378-1722.
The sealed envelope process is a way for a government official to verify your identity without requiring that you appear in person at a Passport Agency. Your application materials will be officially sealed into an envelope. Travel Visa Pro will carry this unopened envelope to the Passport Agency on your behalf to expedite issuance of the passport. The law allows that you have a right to have a representative carry this envelope to a Passport Agency as long as you have an urgent need for a passport. Locate the nearest Passport Acceptance Facility

Please follow these THREE steps to properly authorize and seal your documents:

FIRST, find the nearest Passport Acceptance Facility, which is usually a Post Office or County Courthouse or similar Government Office. We suggest that you call the Facility 1-800-275-8777 in advance to verify passport acceptance hours.

SECOND, visit the Passport Acceptance Facility with the items that Travel Visa Pro has listed (please have a copy of each of these documents):
1. You will need to take two personal checks for the government fees ($25 to Acceptance Agent (e.g. USPS) and $170 (Passport book only) or $200 (Passport book and Passport card) to "U.S. Department of State"), although Post Offices should accept cash.
2. Do NOT hand your check for Travel Visa Pro to acceptance agent to seal inside the envelope. If it occurs you MUST send new one. Remember that Travel Visa Pro is NOT ALLOWED to open the envelope either.

THIRD, ask the Passport Acceptance Facility to seal your materials into an official envelope that you can send to Travel Visa Pro. In sealing the materials, the official will need to check your ID, countersign your application, and in most cases sign your photographs as well. Occasionally, some of the facilities are reluctant to release the sealed envelope. Should you encounter this, please tell the Acceptance Agent that a courier service will deliver the materials to the Passport Agency. This Department of State policy is called "Hand Carrying of Executed Applications". The policy is detailed on page 31 and 44 of their Acceptance Agent Manual.

Please mail all required documents to us. We recommend you to send your paperwork via traceable, overnight FedEx delivery service to avoid loss of your documents. If we receive your documents before 9:30am, we will submit your paperwork to Passport Agency same morning. Otherwise, we will submit them the following day.

For EMERGENCY service option: To process your EMERGENCY Passport Service (8 hour processing) , we need to receive your documents in our San Francisco office by no later than 9.30am PST. Therefore, we encourage you to use FEDERAL EXPRESS (FedEx) and you should select FIRST AM Overnight service (no signature required) in order for us to receive your application in time to be submitted same-morning. Fedex First AM delivery has a commitment time of 8:30AM local time.
