CIBTvisas is the heavyweight option, aimed as much at companies as at individual travelers. Its passport page quotes totals rather than service fees: renewals from $551 with standard processing, first-time, child, name change and lost or stolen passports from $561, and second passports from $396. It says expedited renewal can be completed in as little as 1 to 3 days in some cases, and that replacements for lost passports can be ready in as fast as one day. CIBTvisas claims 100% application accuracy and over 35 years of experience, and promises to refund the service fee if it does not meet your expectations. For businesses it offers account teams for travel programs and global mobility. The trade-off is cost: its entry price is the highest of any service with a published fee here, so leisure travelers with a simple renewal will usually pay less elsewhere.
