If you pay extra for the government&#8217;s expedited service and use overnight shipping for your application, in most cases you&#8217;ll have your new passport within 2 weeks. However, life doesn&#8217;t always give you a 2 week notice. For example, if you have relatives overseas, you might have to leave the country on short notice to deal with a family emergency. Also, even seasoned travelers sometimes make international travel plans, only to realize at the last minute that their passport is lost or expired.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you need an emergency passport, there are two ways to make it happen. The first option is to apply for an emergency passport at a US Passport Agency office.\u00a0There are 15 US Passport Agency offices in the US, located in the following cities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Boston, MA<\/li>\n<li>Chicago. IL<\/li>\n<li>Aurora, CO<\/li>\n<li>Norwalk, CT<\/li>\n<li>Honolulu, HI<\/li>\n<li>Houston, TX<\/li>\n<li>Los Angeles, CA<\/li>\n<li>Miami, FL<\/li>\n<li>New Orleans, LA<\/li>\n<li>New York, NY<\/li>\n<li>Philadelphia, PA<\/li>\n<li>San Francisco, CA<\/li>\n<li>Seattle, WA<\/li>\n<li>Washington, DC (2 locations, with one specializing in diplomatic, official and no-fee passports)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>To apply for an emergency passport at a Passport Agency Office, you must make an appointment. For details, see the instructions on the <a href=\"https:\/\/travel.state.gov\/content\/travel\/en\/passports.html\/npic\/agencies\/agencies_913.html\">US Department of State&#8217;s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you need an emergency passport for a last-minute trip, you may have problems squeezing an appointment with a Passport Agency office into your already frantic schedule. This is especially true if you don&#8217;t live anywhere near one of the Passport Agency offices. Fortunately, there is another way. You can get an emergency passport easily by using a private passport expediting service like RushMyPassport.com. An expediting company will hand-deliver your documents to the US Passport Agency for processing, so you can be ready to travel in as little as 24 hours!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently, the US government recommends that you allow at least 3 weeks to receive a passport using normal passport processing.
