Need a U.S. Passport Immediately?

You should make an appointment to be seen at a Regional Passport Agency only if:

The U.S. passport is needed in less than 2 weeks for international travel
The U.S. passport is needed within 4 weeks to obtain a foreign visa
Contact the National Passport Information Center to make an appointment or locate a Passport Agency.

go to :

http://travel.state.gov/passport/npic/npic_898.html

https://passportappointment.travel.state.gov/

I also made an appointment online. It's a long overdue option. I discovered that new appointments post at midnight, for the newly added day. I waited until midnight, and was able to pick any time I wanted in NY. Game changer.

and make a appointment you will get it the same day or the next day , (depends when you are flying) .



If you need an expedited appointment call l 1-877-487-2778 at 8 AM SHARP EST. Press 1 1 2 2 to speak to a live rep to schedule you an expedited appointment.
Trick is to press the last 2 at 8AM, rather than starting the call at 8AM. I had 2 people try it this morning- one pressed "2" at 8AM and had no hold times and got an appointment for today. The second called at 8AM, had a 30 min wait, and was told that the closest they have available is in VT.

Will this make it harder or easier for third party companies to take up bulk of appointments and resell them??

I became a US citizen this week and they announced passport wait times can be longer then before and some may come quick but they were told to let us know it can take up to 12 weeks.
So not sure who is correct here ;)
They are churning them out at record speeds nowadays but YMMV

My friend wants to get a same day appointment (Plenty of appointments available online in NY), his passport expires August, I want to book him refundable Award ticket to Canada. will they make any issues that Canada allows entry up to day of expiry? and if so what is the cheapest destination that requires 6 month passport validity to enter? I have plenty of United and Aeroplan points,

You don’t need an expiring passport, just proof of travel within 14 days even if you could have taken trip in question without renewal. Now, do any place in the world you’d like you can book Priceline right before appointment and have 24hrs to cancel

Realized my passports are expiring or were set to expire before I was going to travel. Sent it for renewal on the 29th of March. Shows received on the 1st of April. I need to have them back by Wednesday next week. Am I Risking it by leaving everything as is? Or do I pay the $20 fee. $60 expedited fee. Though not sure if that actually helps.
 Or by next week Tuesday I don't see any update make a sale day appointment?

Best advice is to call now the passport agency 1-877-487-2778 and try to get a same day appointment, from what I understand they don't cancel the passport in process until you're at the passport agency for same day passport

I just had a similar experience, I called and paid the $60 expedite fee (I had already prepaid the $20 overnight ) and the passport arrived two days later.
PM me for a good deal on flights

Need to renew expired passports for adults, and get passports for children under 16.
Traveling the week of May 26.
Did not apply yet. Hope to go in the next few days.
Do I need to expedite?
Any DP on current processing times?

You should not need to expedite them. Worst case you can always call in afterwards and pay the expedite fee.
