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.

What is the average turnaround time for passports these days? Regular and expedited.
Thanks!

Called (aka pressed 2) from two phones at exactly 8 o'clock. One picked up right away so I hung up the other. Five minute convo and I had an 11 o'clock appointment at the center I wanted.
What's the reason everyone is going this route?
 I just did it today in the PO. Hoping I'll get it back for pesach.
 Is the route above an expedited service?

Any advice would be appreciated.

My sister (in Los Angeles) sent her passport in for renewal on 01-30-2023 and paid for the expedited processing and expedited delivery. She has an international trip coming up on 03-02-2023 and is worried her Passport may not be processed in time.

She called the Passport office this morning (in LA) and they have no appointments available.

Any steps she should take to guarantee getting this on time?

Btw, I was told by people that work with passport office that online applications get processed the slowest, and applications should not be submitted that way.
