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.

Is it possible to get a passport same day for a newborn? I have the birth certificate already. But no social security card obviously.

You don't need social to get a passport. Not sure if you can get it the same day, but there are places that can do it in one business day.

IIRC it would be around $150 for one day service. I don't know where you're based, but I used express passport in Monsey 845 426 7277.

If they don't know, you fill in 000-00-000 for the social.

Would it be faster to add pages to my passport than issue a new one?

What are my odds of getting a passport if I show up to the office in NYC without an appointment? For a flight leaving tomorrow?

+1

Just be there b4 7 and have proof of travel for the same day. Its better that the tkt should show that you leave 3 pm so they make it for you right away. If its a night flight they make you come back later.
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

FYI:
I sent out the papers to renew my wife's passport last week Wednesday afternoon. Priority mail. Arrives in PHILADELPHIA on FRIDAY. the passport office was closed Mon and Tue this week.. MLK and Snow day. I sent it out payingjg extra for expedited and an extra $12 to send it back over night.
It arrived today.
It came very fast considering the office was closed two days in between as well.

Was very easy and we are very satisfied with the time.
Any more recent updates?
How long does it generally take to get back if you expedite?

A time machine, for starters.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

IIRC, it took about 2 weeks for a renewal (did in library), but idk if you want to gamble on that.

If you have extra time (or you're really worried) just follow the wiki..
