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.

FYI, I did online renewal around a month ago, from when I submitted my app until I received my passport was 6 days (submitted on Monday and received on Saturday). I paid for expedited service as well as shipping. Of course that isn't guaranteed to be the case for everyone but that should at least provide some comfort that you'll receive it in plenty of time.

I can't say the same for mail in forms, I submitted mail in expedited for my kids the same time and status is still "in process", its been that way for over 4 weeks. They cashed my check and put the status to "in process" about 3 days after I sent but still status has yet to change after that. I still have a few weeks till travel and its still under the 5 - 7 weeks estimate for expedited so I'm not worried (yet).
Update! I ended up doing the online renewal (I had a pending invite from when I registered months ago) submitted full application a week ago 7/14 and received an email this morning, passport shipped! I ended up doing expedited and expedited shipping. Thank you!

try to get an appointment to go down to the passport agency. Call  1-877-487-2778 for an appointment (preferably at 8am sharp) or pay 500 to a passport broker for an appointment or call your congressman for help getting an appointment.

$500 and they handle everything? Didn’t know that was an option post-COVID with the going rate for just an appointment at $400.

CT with an appointment shouldn’t be too stressful, but you might have to bring an international ticket for a few days out for immediate turnaround, otherwise (if it’s anything like the NYC agency/office) they might make you come back to pick it up.

Get an early appointment in CT and ask nicely if you can wait around until it's ready. If it's not too busy they should have it in a couple of hours and you can hang at the mall nearby. I've been there a couple of times and they were a pleasure to work with.

try reaching out to @nafnaf12
He got mine expedited when I was in a pinch. May cost a pretty penny.
