With more technology it takes now on average four to eight weeks weeks to get a Passport. Third world countries have a faster turn around on their Passports than Americans do. Even of it has a higher cost, I am sure that many Americans would pay extra to have their Passports the same day. It can possibly be one dedicated office per state, but it needs to happen. Getting a Passport should not be complicated in a new and moden world.
