I needed to renew my passport quickly in order to have time to get the visas I need for a business trip. Sam Carlo at A1 Passport & Visa was efficient and quick. And I appreciate that he warned me in advance about what a State Department email would say about the length of time. I received my passport in 5 working days from when Sam submitted it. Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic service - very clear expectation setting, communication of steps completed and completion of the task that beat the expected delivery date. I have had two great experiences with A1 Passport & Visa Express in two different time-sensitive work travel situations and they came through with flying colors both times. I will return to this group with any future passport or visa processing needs! read more

A1 Passport & Visa and Sam were great to work with. The appointment process was easy and I recieved my new passport in less than a week. Sam was a strong communicator throughout, so I did not have to worry that the process was going according to plan. While the service is expensive, it was well worth it and majorly reduced the stress associated with this process. read more

A1 Delivers Again - Sam Carlo is Outstanding This is my second time using A1 Passport & Visa Express for expedited passport renewal, and once again, the experience exceeded my expectations. Why I keep coming back: Sam Carlo handles everything with exceptional professionalism. He's patient when answering questions, incredibly helpful throughout the process, and meticulous about form accuracy--which is critical when you're working under time constraints. Communication is key: Sam kept me in the loop at every stage. I always knew exactly where my application stood and what to expect next. No surprises, no stress--just clear, timely updates on all the important details. The bottom line: I trust Sam and A1 enough that I'm already planning to use them again in 10 years for my next renewal. If you need expedited passport or visa services, I highly recommend giving them a call. You won't be disappointed. read more

In seeking to replace my damaged passport expeditiously, I selected A1 Passport & Visa Express because of its proximity to my office in Washington, DC, and also because of its many positive reviews on Yelp, etc. Rather than having to communicate online and await a response, Sam picked up the phone on my first call. I explained my situation,, and he walked me through the process and told me what to prepare prior to my appointment at his office the nest day. Upon my arrival, when Sam discovered mistakes in my paperwork, he re-did it on the spot, took a new passport photo, and advised to expect my new passport in several days. This is exactly what happened. What a seamless and positive experience! I would highly recommend A1 Passport to anyone needing passport/visa services! Tom N. read more

Great service. Sam was terrific and very responsive. The whole process was easy and efficient. Received my new passport within days of submitting it. read more

This was, by far, a wonderful experience. I had booked a trip not realizing, I only had 5 months until my passport expired. I was told I would need a renewed passport ASAP. With 3 weeks until my trip, I started to panic. I was referred to A1 by a friend. In 1 week, I had my new passport. Sam kept me posted every step of the way. Answered every call and followed through on his service. I recommend using Sam and his team, very highly. He made this as stress free and easy as it could be!!! read more

Sam is knowledgeable, efficient, and reliable. What else are you looking for in a passport or visa partner?!

Sam and his team at A1 Passport and Visa Express have mastered the difficult task of getting or renewing a passport quickly and with great dependability. Sam will walk you through the process before you send any documents to him so you know it will be correct the first time. My wife just got her passport renewed and we had it back in 5 days. Sam has also helped her with his visa to Kazakhstan a few times and made the whole process easy. We will continue to use A1 for any passport or visa needs and I recommend A1 to anyone needing assistance. Dave B. read more

I have used A1 Passport & Visa Express for many years to assist with my visa applications. Sam is communicative and responsive. I highly recommend their services. read more

My husband and I have been using A1 passport & visa service for years. Sam is very professional and always friendly to work with. I just received my new passport, nine days after my appointment, super fast. He is the best and deserves five stars. No doubt, I would highly recommend him to anyone. read more

Quick and friendly service...just what was needed to renew my passport with a short turnaround. Sam was reassuring and efficient!

I'd been reading in the Washington Post that many passport renewals were taking upwards of 12 weeks - and so wasn't looking forward to the process. But using A1 made all the difference - I walked over in person, was able to take a quick photo, write two checks, and be on my way. Sam informed me that he'd bring it to the department on Tuesday - and mentally, I thought to myself "what difference would a couple of days make since it'll likely take over two months, perhaps even three to get back?" I was astounded then, when the following Tuesday, a week after he said he dropped it off - I received my updated passport. Seven days later! Truly exceptional service - worth every penny. read more

Great service and Mr Sam is awesome gentleman to work with thank you so much guys u made my dad's dream to see his sisters come true

WOW!!! This was an absolutely flawless process. I was worried about sending my passport to a FedEx center and how long it could take, even being expedited for my upcoming international travel in 6 weeks. The company I work for has used A1 Passport and Visa Express for years, so I did too, and all of my fears were gone. The process was easy to navigate and faster than I could have even imagined. They received my passport on a Monday, and it was processed for my name change on Tuesday and it's being shipped back to me within a day. Literally less than a week from beginning to end. And Sam kept me informed every step of the way. This service is worth every penny and I'll never worry about international travel again. Thank you Sam! You are a true gem! RUN, do not walk, to A1 Passport and Visa Express if you have any needs for passports or visas. read more

I've used A1 Passport 3 times now to process expedited Passport renewals for my family. A1 is the best in the business! I trust Sam's professional knowledge and his personal and kind service. Thank you, A1 team! read more

I've been using A1 Passport for over 10 years and I've never been disappointed. He provides great service and he can also provide you with passport photos as well. This is always my go-to for passports and renewals. read more

My experience with A1 Passport was AWESOME! In and out in just a few minutes, which included having a picture taken, and I had my renewed passport a week later. All questions around the process and timing were answered clearly. I have already told my wife she needs to use them when it comes time to renew her passport! This was even easier than I envisioned it would be - I HIGHLY recommend A1 Passport, this is was customer service at its best! :) read more

We have used A1 Passports two times previously to obtain expedited passports. Both times we were extremely pleased with the results. This third time was no exception. A1 provided a roadmap for navigating the Passport Agency website, answered all our questions readily, provided us solid recommendations, and performed quality control over our draft submissions. We were totally pleased with their performance and without hesitation recommend them. read more

Great instructions and fast service from A1 & Sam Carlo. A1's experience and connections make for quick processing and delivery of my passport. Thank you, Sam!! read more

My wife and I let our passports expire and were afraid we ruined our opportunity for foreign travel because of the expected long wait these days for new passports. Thank goodness we found A1 Passport Express. After a short meeting with Sam at their office in Arlington, we were told to expect our passports in plenty of time for summer travel overseas. WE RECEIVED THE PASSPORTS IN FEBRUARY, JUST A FEW WEEKS AFTER THE MEETING!!! We were floored, and ecstatic!! This is absolutely the place to go to get your passport fast and hassle free! read more

The service was incredible. Sam answered the phone when I called. He provided clear instructions and the turn-around could not have been quicker. I wasn't sure we could pull it off, but we did with plenty of time. I do not want to say exactly how long it took because I know all situations might be different, but I was literally astounded! It was as if Sam had walked into the State Department and walked out with the Passports. I could not recommend anything higher than A1 Passport & Visa Express. The peace of mind having the passports is amazing, it is a huge relief. Thank you, Sam! read more

This guy taking cash only . He charge me $20 dollar for 2 pics. I told him I only need one . Also he didn't provide me any receipt.

I have been using A1 Passport & Visa for years and tbh if you deal with needing visa often it is a god send. I've spent countless hours doing the paper work, making appointments at embassies, driving to DC and only to have to run around to find a Fedex office and reprint something because the embassy finds one tiny error on paper work. (I'm looking at you Russia, lol.) Sam from A1 makes the process super easy and makes sure everything is perfect so you don't need to worry - using his service has saved me so much time and stress, especially been on a time crunch. Most recently I needed to renew my husbands passport and obviously with Covid the passport processing time is pretty delayed - I still went through A1 and was able to get his passport in 4 weeks, which is quicker than the current time estimated by the Passport office in DC. At first glance pricing can seem steep - but if you have ever spent considerable time trying to get visas or passports taken care of, especially in a rush, then you know that there isn't a price you wouldnt pay if you could for someone else to handle all of the leg work for you. I'll always use A1 for all of my passport and visa needs :) Thanks Sam!! read more

A1 passport and visa services is the best. I worked with Sam and he is so knowledgeable and professional. He helped me out of a nightmare last-minute- passport-snafu. He is also great about providing updates about the whole process. Whether you have plenty of time to get your passport or you are in a last-minute rush call on Sam at A1 passport. thank you, Sam! read more

Sam was the best! So quick and efficient and very communicative. Really appreciate all of his help.

Sam and team were a lifesaver for me helping to navigate a complicated visa process in a short amount of time! What a relief to work with them, will definitely use again. They have been the "go-to" resource for my company for over a decade now. read more

Simply put: Sam saved my honeymoon. If you're in a bind, and you're too anxious to go the traditional route of trying to get an emergency appt at State (which you can only do two weeks out...I was three weeks out, so didn't want to deal w/the anxiety) paying the idiot tax for peace of mind is well worth it if you can. All of his other great reviews are true. He made me feel confident this would work every step of the way, took my passport photo, and was friendly and professional to boot. Trust Sam! read more

I'm very happy and pleased to have used A1 Passport & Visa Express to renew my passport. Sam, the owner is very friendly and patient, and it was a simple process to go to his business and have a passport size photo taken, submit a form with the old passport, and within 2-3 weeks, I had received my new passport and old passport in the mail. I highly recommend using A1 Passport & Visa Express!! read more

Top-notch service!! Sam and Team A1 were some of the best folks I have ever worked with. I utilized their services on a Wednesday and had my passport the very next week. The process was transparent, easy, and quick! read more

They didn't get my paperwork in time despite repeated promises. They gave me bad advice to not alternatively make a passport appointment, they told me the wrong advice about keeping the passport appointment - if I listened to them I wouldn't have ended up getting my passport. I ended up getting my passport without their help and they refused to refund me even half their fee. read more

there is no better company than this to trust with your passport needs. first, they standby their word and delivery dates. second, they care about you and ensuring you get what you want. amazing team overall. you will not find a better place. gregg read more

This is the second time I have used Sam to get a passport renewed quickly and he didnt disappoint! Both times I was stressed because I had a trip pop up and I needed a renewal ASAP. He walked me through each step and handled the entire process for me. I had my new passport in exactly 1 week!! read more

Sam made the entire experience simple and efficient! Super easy for my first time applying for a visa.
