Passports Applications in Person

Imminent Departure

If you need a passport within the next two weeks, your application will require a personal appearance by appointment during our regular hours of operation. If you need a passport within the next few days no appointment is necessary, provided you bring proof of travel, and you can visit during our morning opening hours (8:30 to 11:30 am).

Please bring the following with you:

 
1. Either the DS-82 form (if you have an undamaged, full validity, 10 year passport issued within the last 15 years) OR a DS-11 passport application form (for all others) – see also our section on Passports for Minors for additional requirements for children;

2. Your old passport – click here if your passport was lost or stolen;

3. Two photos (See our photo specifications pages);

4. The relevant fee.

 


Processing time

We are able to issue full validity replacement passports within seven to ten days.  U.S. full validity passports are printed in the United States.

If eligible, you may be issued a limited validity emergency passport for immediate travel (please bring proof of travel with you).  You will be required to replace this emergency passport by mail when you complete your travel.  You may not be issued another emergency passport until this passport is replaced.  We therefore encourage you to replace your emergency passport immediately upon your return.
