Routine passport processing in Atlanta GA takes 4-6 weeks or longer. But travelers near Atlanta that need a faster passport option can now expedite using RushMyPassport or by making an appointment at the Atlanta passport office. Atlanta is the ninth largest city in the country so it comes as no surprise that emergency passport services would be needed.
A Regional Passport Agency office is a special passport office for US citizens who need emergency passport services. Prior to the opening of the Atlanta Regional Passport Agency, Georgia residents had to drive or fly all the way to New Orleans or Washington, DC to get a passport in the event of a travel emergency.
Where is the Atlanta Passport Agency?
The Atlanta Passport Agency is located on Peachtree Street in the middle of downtown. Though open by appointment only, it is conveniently located above the Peachtree Center MARTA station in downtown Atlanta. The building entrance is located between the Hotel Indigo and BB&T Bank. Parking options are limited near the Atlanta passport office. Prices at downtown parking garages will range from $5 – $40 based on special events in the area.
To qualify for an appointment, you must need a passport to travel overseas within 14 days, or four weeks if you also need to apply for a travel visa for your destination country. In addition to the other documents required to get a passport, you must bring a copy of your itinerary as well. As long as everything is in order, the passport agency office will issue your passport within 24 hours so you can be on your way. To make an appointment, call 1-877-487-2778.
Atlanta Passport Agency Director Gale McCoy recalled a time helping a teenage boy get a passport for a trip to Paris. “Emergencies like this happen every day in airports across the country, and the odds of it happening in Atlanta are great, considering that the Atlanta airport serves more than 80 international destinations and is the world’s busiest airport in terms of passenger volume. That’s why it was so important for Atlanta to have a passport agency.”
Passport Office Options
Of course, even with the Atlanta Passport office open, the Department of State’s emergency passport services will still be out of reach for many. Some people won’t be able to get the time off work, or not want to spend the day waiting in an office and dealing with Atlanta traffic. If you need your passport application processed quickly and can’t use the passport agency or would prefer not to go through the hassle for whatever reason, RushMyPassport can help. We hand-deliver your paperwork to the Department of State, for processing in as little as 24 hours with no need to make an appointment or wait in line.

1. Regarding my son: Do we keep the same Passport # when replacing an expired passport?
1. Regarding my son: does he keep same Passport# when replacing a recently expired passport.?
2. Regarding my new Daughternlaw: Do we keep the same passport # when updating a name change due to marriage.
The passport number will change with the issuance of a new passport.
I need to add pages to my passport before a trip at the end of this month.
Okay, with that timeframe you’ll be cutting it close if you send it in to State Department. Even with their expedited processing it’ll be 2-3 weeks door-to-door. We have a variety of different options available, all faster than that. Click on the drop-down menu on this page for processing times and costs.
Or, you could wait until 14 days from your departure date and make an appointment at the nearest passport agency, assuming you have one nearby, though this option is more time-consuming and less convenient.
If you have any more questions about our service, you can get them answered immediately by either calling us or chatting live with a customer service representative. 🙂
Thanks so much, and have a great trip!
