Waiting times & accommodation

Every case has its own timeline.

Booking an appointment and receiving a document are separate steps. Availability and processing depend on your service, the documents provided and the responsible authority.

Find an appointment

Choose your service in the appointment form to see the appropriate booking options.

Prepare for your visit

Follow the document checklist and your confirmation. Allow time for travel, parking and finding the office.

Allow for processing

Further checks or decisions by another authority may follow your appointment. Confirm current guidance before relying on a delivery date.

Biometric passports: the Denver office FAQ currently gives 10–12 weeks for standard processing and at least 5 weeks for express processing, without a delivery guarantee. These published estimates were checked on September 27, 2026.

Office FAQ and current guidance

For urgent travel, contact the office before booking. Do not assume that a document can be issued on the day of your appointment.
