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.

Does anyone have anything new to report, re applying/renewing?  I spoke to them about two weeks ago and was told to wait.  That said, most of their offices are open (not to the public) and their backlog is not much above normal.

Any way for a US citizen baby living in Israel without a passport to enter the US? Embassy emergency appointments are booked until late August.

Its not really true. You just have to do some pushing. Just because its an American Embassy it does not mean its American.

But the schedule doesn’t have any openings. You mean to call them and push to get a slot opened?

Yeah, correct or maybe find someone you know there or something like that.
I had a friend who needed a passport for his baby... same idea... no appointments available.....he pushed a little and got an appointment the next day.
Make sure to send emails also, even though it says don't send more then once... You have an appointment already so they won't cancel.
Also push by both Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. They say there is no real communication between the two regarding these matters.

Daughter going for seminary iy"H. Her passport expires in May, so she should get in but will need to renew before she comes back. Does it make sense now to book an appointment now at Israeli consulate in J-m?
How do I do that?
TIA

Appointment where?  Getting an appointment is not the issue, processing time is.

How short?

I took my kids for passports on 7/8 (yes, 2 weeks ago), I got an email today that I should receive them within a week. It really depends on the processing agency, I was told mine were sent to Philly.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Where did you take the kids on 7/8?  Had they given you an emergency appointment?

My son is scheduled to go to Yeshiva in Israel at end of August but his passport is expiring the first week of September.  Does anyone have advice how to renew his passport in the next few weeks?
