Perry International

What Perry International does

Perry International, operating as Perry Visa Service, Inc. (PVS), is a Chicago-based professional services firm specializing in passport, travel visa, and document authentication assistance. Founded in 1946 and headquartered at 53 West Jackson Boulevard in Chicago's Loop, the firm serves individual travelers, business travelers, travel agencies, corporate clients, government entities, and high-profile customers such as professional athletes and celebrities. Core offerings include expedited US passport procedures (renewal, new, lost, damaged, and second passports), travel visas for destinations including China, India, Saudi Arabia, and Vietnam, e-visa processing, and document authentication/legalization services. The company does not operate a proprietary technology platform; workflows are manual document processing supported by phone and email channels.

The business operates on a professional services revenue model, charging case-by-case fees based on service type, urgency, and document complexity. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and quotations are provided after reviewing specific requirements. The go-to-market is inside sales, with direct phone-based engagement (312-922-8860) available 8am-4pm CST plus emergency after-hours support, plus email outreach ([email protected]). The firm relies on partner website referrals from American Visa Service (americanvisachicago.com) as a core channel, with an email newsletter as a top-of-funnel tactic. No marketing or sales technology stack is described.

Perry Visa Service maintains 11-50 employees and does not appear to have raised outside funding. The company's competitive positioning rests on 80+ years of combined team experience, long-standing relationships with the US Passport Agency and multiple consulates, and brand recognition within a niche travel-document-services market. The firm is independently owned and operated, with no disclosed parent company or institutional investors.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves3 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Fragomen: Fragomen is a global immigration law and mobility services firm handling visa, work authorization, and immigration compliance for large enterprises. Adjacent to Perry on visa processing but serving enterprise immigration needs at vastly higher complexity and scale.
• CIBT (CIBTvisas): CIBTvisas is the largest global visa and passport service provider, offering expedited passport and visa processing for individuals and corporations across 200+ countries. Like Perry, it provides document authentication and corporate immigration mobility, but at dramatically greater scale and with proprietary digital platforms.

Direct peers

• A Briggs Passport & Visa Expeditors: A Briggs is a long-running US passport and visa expediting company offering expedited passport, visa, and document authentication services, comparable to Perry in service mix and customer base, with similar small-team operating model.
• Rush My Passport: Rush My Passport is a US-focused expedited passport service catering to urgent and emergency travelers. It is a direct peer in expedited passport renewal/new applications and shares Perry's individual-traveler and time-sensitive-use cases.
• Travisa (now part of CIBT): Travisa historically operated as a US-based passport and visa processing specialist serving travelers and corporations, with similar service offerings and white-glove processing orientation. Acquired by CIBTvisas, but comparable as a service-led visa/passport brand targeting the same individual and SMB segments as Perry.
• VisaCentral (now CIBT): VisaCentral offers expedited passport and visa processing for individuals and corporate clients in the US and internationally. Closely comparable to Perry's service set, particularly for US passport renewal, travel visas, and corporate travel documentation.
• International Passport & Visa Service: International Passport & Visa Service is a US-based visa and passport expediting agency targeting individual travelers and corporate accounts. It mirrors Perry's narrow geographic and service positioning with phone/email-based intake and case-by-case case handling.
• VisaHQ: VisaHQ is a direct online competitor providing passport, visa, and document legalization services for individuals and corporate clients in the US. It overlaps Perry's core product set (passport renewal, e-visas, travel visas) but is positioned primarily as a tech-enabled, online-first platform.

Others

• American Visa Service (partner): American Visa Service is the partner entity that hosts Perry's service detail pages and directs customers to perryvisaservice.com. It is not a competitor but a closely affiliated brand providing shared content/referral infrastructure for Perry.

Regional players

• Atlas Travel & Technology Group: Atlas Travel is a US travel management and technology company whose corporate travel offerings include passport and visa assistance to business clients. Comparable to Perry on the visa assistance use case but operates at much larger corporate travel scale and bundles with broader TMC services.
