As staff slowly return to work at passport agencies and centers around the country, the demand for new or renewal passports, many delayed from March–June 2020 because of pandemic shutdowns, remains high amid a backlog of nearly 1 million passports. And social distancing guidelines make it difficult for full staff returns to processing facilities. Whereas hundreds could be found at a passport agency office prior to COVID-19, today most offices can only accommodate a few people at one time. ItsEasy Passport App aims to ease the difficulties in renewing your passport in our new normal. The app also offers the only COVID-safe way to renew your passport from home and contact-free.
Thousands have used ItsEasy Passport App since the pandemic began to renew passports. The app’s All Inclusive Renewal Program, available for $34.95 plus required government fees, includes passport photos; round-trip trackable shipping; forms and instructions delivered instantly via email; pre-checked documents to ensure a perfect submission; 24/7/365 live customer service for unlimited status processing updates; and complimentary renewal reminders. All of this can be done without leaving home and concierge travel experts monitor the entire process.
“ItsEasy Passport App has been helping people expedite their passports for more than 40 years, and as soon as passport offices closed due to the pandemic, I knew it would cause a nightmare for the U.S. State Department and for travelers,” said David Alwadish, founder and president, ItsEasy. “We went to work immediately to update our app to ensure Americans had a contactless way to renew their passports. And it was imperative we find a way to offer our white glove concierge service at a reasonable price anyone could afford.”

Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately. Their cruise ships dock smoothly at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, a modern gateway designed by Sir Norman Foster.
