If you are a resident of Puerto Rico and need to get an expedited passport, you have several options for service while the San Juan Passport Agency is closed for renovations. First: You can mail in your passport application packet to the National Passport Center. It will take approximately 3 weeks to complete. Second: Make an appointment at the Miami Passport Agency. But our recommendation is instead of flying to Miami, it will be much more efficient to send your documents to a reputable passport expediting service. Passport expediting companies can have your passport issued very quickly in 24 hours or less.
