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.

You can go to downtown Manhattan office at 7:00 am and they have a line to wait if you don't have appointment, and you can get same day passport if you have itinerary
Do they have such an office in LAX?
You can say what you think when you think what you say.

If someone needs a new passport for 3 month old infant and is flying out on a Sunday from EWR to TLV  at 4:40 pm on an emergency basis for the burial of an immediate family member and hypothetically its already Sunday 9:00 a.m same day as the flight when they realize this predicament is there anyway to do it? at the airport?

Same day passports are issued at the NY Passport Agency in Manhattan. They are closed on Sunday.

If there's any reason to think you might need a passport on Sunday, now is the time to act.

I need help with the form to be mailed in for a renewal of a Israeli passport in NY. Has anyone completed this process? I do not want to go into the consulate and they say I can mail the form but give no instructions on where to mail and how to make payment.

my scenario was to get it same day on a sunday I guess the answer is no?

I heard you may be able do it at the airport maybe on an emergency basis?

Not sure about the airport, but I don't think that's a thing (maybe someone else can chime in). The emergency basis concept is what the Manhattan office is there for. The airline would likely make you reschedule for a Monday evening flight, and you'd need to go to the Manhattan office Monday morning (or pay an agency to do it for you) and get a same day passport.

My point is, if you have cause to worry about the hypothetical, don't wait for it to become a reality and then need to start scrambling (or be stuck). Go book a refundable flight leaving in 2 days, then go tomorrow to the Passport Agency in Manhattan and get a same day passport (again, or pay an agency to do it for you).
Best case, you don't end up needing it now and the baby has a valid passport good for 5 years.

a couple of ideas:

Can one leave the US with their infant without the infant having a US passport and just take care of the US passport for the infant in Israel at the US consulate?

There is an emergency number you can call and if life or death situation they may be able to arrange for a passport on the spot even on a Sunday?

No

Yes (If you have the right documentation)

Anybody have a good experience with any of the NY based passport expediting services for  a renewal... I know I can go in person but not sure I'll be available for the walk-in hours for the NYC office (and if I have to go all the way to Connecticut, may be worth it to pay for one of these services instead)

Go to the BPL on kings highway and Ocean Avenue you can get the same expedited service as the passport office IINM, and no waiting lines.
