expedited passport renewal

geormiet · #1 10-23-2005, 04:07 PM

I have a passport that expired in '99 (which was issued when I was 14 years old) and I have a flight leaving the country on oct 27, 4 days from now.

What is my best option for expedited passport renewal?

A friend of mine once realized that his passport was expired the day before his flight. He was able to go somewhere in person and get it renewed in a day.

I had to do an expedited passport application once (my passport was stolen) and it took about two weeks.

You can go somewhere in person to get it renewed in a day or two. Not sure where, but you could find out.

You going to Dublin by any chance?

Not happening. Not in 4 days.

Change your flight, Costa Rica can wait.

This is possible, though it will be easiest to not do it directly thru the government. I would recommend calling a 3rd-party passport expeditor first thing monday morning. I have used these people in the past.

I had the same issue a few years ago. You need to go to the nearest State Dept. Office and get an emergency passport. It will cost some money. You can get one same day but you may need to block out the whole day for the venture. When I did this I ran into Flavor Flav who was having issues getting one b/c of oustanding child support payments. I'm not kidding.

False. See my post.

I swear to god you are following me on the internet.

Thanks for the advice. I found a place that charges about 140 for the expediting fee. This seem reasonable?
