The passport application fee is $67 .
Expedited Service - Add $60 for each application
For any service - e.g., first-time application, renewal, additional pages, name change
Additionally, to receive your passport as soon as possible, we strongly suggest that you arrange overnight delivery service for:
1. Sending your passport application
AND
2. Returning your passport to you.
Go to the state department web page and put 'passports' in the search bar, it is all there. And if you pay for expedited remember the cost for overnight mail both ways.
I got mine expedited in 1 week but they were quoting 2 or more. However, they were quoting 12 weeks for not-expedited at the time. That will be on the web page, too.
Go to the U.S. Department of State website..All passport information is on there.
