However, according to the Dallas News, many\u00a0 area residents are not aware that the office, located in at <span class=\"vitstorybody\"><span class=\"vitstorybody\">1100 Commerce St,<\/span><\/span> is even there.<\/p>\n<p>In the article, Britany Williams, the regional director of the Dallas passport agency, told the newspaper that <span class=\"vitstorybody\"><span class=\"vitstorybody\">\u201cWe actually don\u2019t have a lot of traffic right now because a lot of people don\u2019t know we are here.\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"vitstorybody\"><span class=\"vitstorybody\">The office, which can issue emergency passports, probably won&#8217;t remain an open secret for long. Also, applying for a same-day passport at an agency office is not a viable option for everyone, even if you live in the Dallas area. First of all, the office may not be busy, but it is by appointment only. Second, the office hours are not convenient for people who work during the day, and if you are already leaving the country unexpectedly, you may not be able to get additional time off work.\u00a0 The Dallas office is open from 8am to 3pm, weekdays only. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"vitstorybody\"><span class=\"vitstorybody\">Third, many people don&#8217;t live anywhere near one of these offices. The Dallas office is one of only 18 regional passport agency offices scattered across the country. Depending on where you live, your nearest office\u00a0 could be a long drive or even a plane ride away!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"vitstorybody\"><span class=\"vitstorybody\">Fortunately, there is an easier way to get an emergency passport. A private passport expediting service, like RushMyPassport.com, can hand-deliver your application to the Department of State for immediate processing.\u00a0 There&#8217;s no need to wait in line or make an appointment, and your application can be processed in as little as 24 hours! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"vitstorybody\"><span class=\"vitstorybody\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rushmypassport.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Need an emergency passport?
