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.

I'm traveling April 19. My expedited application's status is "IN PROCESS".  I called today to inform them of my travel date, and they notified the agency. What are my chances of having a passport on time? Any tips would be appreciated as well

I’m not sure what more you could do, I’d be optimistic they’d come through.

Most airlines offer this (DOT requirement) but only for flights 7+ days out. If the flight is less than a week out a refundable ticket is the only option.

Certain OTAs allow you to cancel any flight within 24 hours of booking, no matter when the flight is (still not worth it to try it with a Spirit flight, etc).

Why not an award ticket? Cancel almost up to departure.

I end up using united.com because of someone with a dp. I was able to cancel 10 hours before takeoff.

Tried that, Been there, done that. Didn't help.
Ended up finding an apt for 2 days out and went down. The cost was another 60+35. Got passport in hand dew hours later.

i had to call the passport agency number at exactly 8am, then it was a 2 minute wait, called a minute later and it was a half hour wait. 2 min later it just hangs up on you because the call volume is too high. the only appointments they have available (dallas) were if youre travel is exactly 2 weeks out, they could give you an appt for the day before, 830-1030 am.

Friend of mine called countless of times over last two weeks and wasn't able to get an appointment. I advised him not to tell that he is flying to Israel, when they asked. He tried again, not sure if its a coincidence but he mentioned a different country and got an appointment in Manhattan.

I had the same problem while flying to Brazil. I'd guess it is a coincidence as they are known to be overbooked.
