Swift Passport Serices

What Swift Passport Serices does

Swift Passport Services (legal name: Swift Passport & Visa Services LLC) is a privately held, Chicago-based LLC founded in 2007 by Rob Lee and Laurie Lee that operates as an authorized emissary of the U.S. Department of State to facilitate expedited US passport and international visa procurement. The company's core products fall into three categories: (i) expedited passport services (renewals, first-time applications, child passports, lost/stolen replacements, and second valid passports) with turnaround options ranging from 3-4 business days at a $599 service fee down to 2-3 weeks at $155, plus standard government fees and shipping; (ii) expedited visa services for 70+ countries including China, Brazil, and India, with service fees typically in the $175-$450 range; and (iii) e-visa services for 20+ countries completed entirely online. The proprietary SwiftPass digital platform, launched in 2026, extends these capabilities into a B2B corporate product for centralized management of employee travel documents.

The business runs on a hybrid go-to-market combining a direct-to-consumer e-commerce front end (swiftpassportservices.com) with online ordering, document review, and status updates, supplemented by walk-in service at the Chicago headquarters and a sales-led motion for corporate accounts. Revenue is generated primarily through per-transaction service fees collected on top of government and shipping charges, with a growing subscription/recurring component from corporate clients; documented pricing also includes a $100 non-refundable cancellation fee. The company holds U.S. Department of State authorized emissary status, BBB A+ accreditation, and reported review scores of Google 4.7, Yelp 5.0, and Facebook 5.0. Operations span four U.S. offices (Chicago, Boston, Miami, Washington D.C.), and the team is described as 1-10 employees with no disclosed external funding.

Direct peers

• CIBTvisas: One of the largest global visa and passport expediting services, offering both consumer and corporate solutions. Directly comparable to Swift across core service lines (passport renewal, visa processing, corporate travel document management) and a relevant benchmark for SwiftPass ambitions.
• VisaCentral: Long-established U.S. visa and passport expediting service serving both individual travelers and corporate accounts. Overlaps with Swift on passport renewals, visa procurement, and B2B travel document workflows.
• VisaHQ: Online-first visa and passport services platform with broad country coverage and both consumer and corporate offerings. Comparable to Swift on e-visa breadth and digital ordering experience.
• RushMyPassport: U.S.-focused expedited passport service offering multiple turnaround tiers (similar to Swift's 3–4 day premium). Directly comparable on product structure, pricing model, and consumer target.
• A Briggs Passport & Visa Expediters: Established U.S. passport and visa expediting firm with national footprint and corporate services. Overlaps with Swift on expedited processing, government liaison role, and corporate account handling.

Broad incumbents

• Passport Health: Large national network focused on travel health (vaccinations, country-specific health requirements) that often touches travel documentation. Comparable as a broader travel-prep service provider rather than a pure passport/visa specialist.
• Atlas Travel & Technology Group: Corporate travel management company whose services include travel documentation support for enterprise clients. Comparable on B2B travel document workflow management adjacent to SwiftPass.
• Corporate Travel Management (CTM): Global corporate travel management platform that handles business travel logistics for large enterprises. Adjacent rather than direct competitor, but addresses the same corporate buyer Swift targets with SwiftPass.

Emerging players

• International Travel & Events (ITE): Smaller-scale travel document and visa assistance provider. Comparable on service scope (visa and passport support) but with narrower reach than Swift's four-city footprint.

Regional players

• FedEx Office Passport Services: FedEx Office offers passport photo and shipping services that touch the passport application process. Comparable only at the periphery of Swift's full-service expediting offering but represents a low-cost alternative at the front end of the customer journey.
