Passport Office Opens in ATL 5/16
Finally, the world's busiest airport has close proximity to a passport office! ^
This may be moved to a more general travel forum, but thought it would be of particular interest to DL fliers who are in & out of ATL frequently. MrWeezer needed new pages for his passport for an upcoming TATL trip on DL, so we made an appt & flew to MSY earlier in the week. The agent there recommended he get a whole new passport as his is looking old & frayed, and she told him about the new ATL office. It's located near the Peachtree Center MARTA stop, convenient enough to ATL.

Thanks OP. Glad I caught this before it was lost on the DL forum. I have 5 hours in ATL when I come back from GVO in a week and will want to take advantage of this office.

Good question, I'll have him ask. It's due to expire in 3 years, and he was down to one empty box for stamps, which is why the NOLA agent suggested he just start over with a new, larger one that has 50 pages (vs getting 20 new pages). Based on what that agent said, sounds like he's starting over & paying for a new one. He'll lose visas for Chile & Argentina that still have a few years left, which is a bummer since we're going back to Chile this summer.

No more depending on the passport offices in New Orleans, Miami or Washington, D.C. for a passport if you are based in Atlanta or nearby. The new passport office in Atlanta had a ribbon-cutting ceremony today, even though it officially opened on May 2, 2011.
It is about time!
