Question: I am a US citizen living in Ontario Canada. Last night my purse was stolen along with my US passport.

The consulate general here suggested you can issue me a new one faster than our 2 week processing period. My urgency is that I have tickets to fly to Australia August 2nd. I cannot make an appointment using you phone # here in Canada. I am only 2 hrs away from Detroit and am willing to drive to your offices if you can help me.
