Water damage, torn pages, a missing cover — any damage beyond normal wear and tear means you can't board an international flight. APVI replaces a damaged passport on an expedited timeline with the right form (DS-11) and statement of damage.

Damaged passport replacement, made painless.
Damage replacement requires the right form, citizenship evidence, and a written statement explaining the damage. One missing piece means denial. We assemble the full file and submit it on your behalf.
- DS-11 + statement of damage reviewed for you
- Citizenship evidence and ID checklist provided
- Damaged passport submitted along with the application
The credentials behind every APVI application.
Three steps. That's it.
We prepare the paperwork and submit directly to the U.S. Department of State under our own license. You handle packing.
Place your order
Choose your processing speed. Tell us when you're traveling — we work backward from that date.
Submit documents
Complete your application online for review. We email a prepaid overnight FedEx label for everything we need.
Get your passport
We submit to the U.S. State Department and overnight your new passport directly to your door.
Don't gamble at the gate. Replace it before you fly.
Airlines and CBP routinely deny boarding for water damage, unofficial markings, or missing pages. If your passport is anything less than pristine, replace it.
The DIY path
- In-person appearance required (DS-11)
- Confusion over what counts as 'damaged'
- 6–8 weeks of routine processing
- Statement of damage often missing or wrong
- Risk of boarding denial on travel day
The APVI path
- Acceptance Facility appointment scheduled for you
- Specialist confirms damage threshold before filing
- 5 business days expedited turnaround
- Statement of damage prepared with you
- Travel-ready passport in hand before departure
Travelers we've gotten across the line.
"Spilled coffee on my passport two weeks before a Europe trip. APVI replaced it in 5 days. Done."

"TSA flagged my passport as damaged on my last trip. Replaced through APVI before my next one. Zero issues at check-in."
Everything you need to know, in plain English.
Still have questions? Call us at (800) 766-0452.
Water damage, torn or missing pages, unofficial markings or stamps, a detached cover, or anything that obscures the photo or chip. Normal wear is fine; doubt it? Call us.
No. The State Department requires you to apply in person on form DS-11 with a written statement of damage. We prepare both and book your appointment.
5 business days expedited from your in-person appearance. Same-day pickup available at regional Passport Agencies for emergencies.
Yes. You'll bring the damaged passport to the appointment — it's submitted with the application and returned canceled along with your new passport.
Active visa stamps remain valid in the canceled passport. You can travel carrying both — many countries accept this. Confirm with your destination's consulate.
Call us immediately. Same-day service is available at regional Passport Agencies for documented imminent travel.
