Guaranteed Document Application Online For Free

To apply for an emergency travel document, you must file Form I-131, Application for a Travel Document, complete with supporting documentation, photos and applicable fees. See the application for specific filing instructions.

By filing online, you can avoid common mistakes, such as submitting your form without a signature or failing to include some parts of the completed pages of Form I-130. In addition, you can save your draft application and finish it later at your convenience. Payment for your filing fee is also secure and easy.

The travel document usually arrives within 150 days (sometimes longer) after submitting your application. You can't leave the country until you have your approved travel document in hand, so you should expect to spend the 3?5 months after submitting your green card application in the United States.

Mail your forms to the address listed on that form's webpage. You may submit your forms through USPS, FedEx, DHL, or UPS. We encourage you to save a copy of your payment, along with any tracking number provided by the courier, for your records and to allow you to verify the status of its delivery.
