Emergency Passport Service
Emergency passport service is available both domestically and abroad
for American citizens who need to get their travel document quickly,
including those who need to get a passport the same day. Applications
for emergency passport service are submitted at the nearest U.S.
Embassy or consulate general when traveling abroad and at a regional
passport agency or through a registered expediting service when
applying in the United States.
Emergency Passport Service While Abroad
In the case of a lost or stolen
passport while abroad, the fact should be reported to the local police
before application is made for the limited-validity passport. Take a
copy of the police report to the embassy or consulate. The cost of a
limited-validity emergency passport is the same as a full-validity
passport. Travelers who are issued an emergency passport are encouraged
to
apply to replace the limited-validity passport once they return to the United States. There is no fee if the application if submitted before the emergency passport expires.
When replacing the limited-validity passport, American citizens who
live outside the United States can submit their applications for a
full-validity passport to the nearest
U.S. Embassy or Consulate
in the country where they reside. American citizens who live in the
United States can submit their applications to the address on the
application form.
You may have to submit the following documents in addition to
the listed requirements for your specific renewal. To discover the
exact requirements, check the endorsement on the last page of the
emergency passport.
If your passport was issued under 22 CFR 51.41, you also need to submit
proof of citizenship. If your passport was issued under 22 CFR 51.28, you need to submit
proof of identity.
Emergency Passport Service in the United States
Individuals who face an emergency travel situation that requires they
obtain a passport in 2 weeks or less (4 weeks or less if visa required)
can schedule an appointment to
submit the application at a regional passport agency. In order to get the passport expedited quickly, most processing centers also require
evidence of imminent travel. The phone number to call is 1-877-487-2778. It can sometimes take several attempts to get through.
Applicants should arrive a few minutes early with their passport
application, supporting documents and appointment verification. While
most regional agencies process applications in up to 5 business days,
they can process passports the same day if necessary.
If your situation does not allow you to personally visit a regional agency, you can
employ the services of a registered expediter such as
Rush My Passport which has over a decade of experience and an A+ rating with the BBB.
