- 14 days before your trip, you need to schedule an appointment
in a travel agency with the passport agency.
- Appointments are not easy to get, but there is tricks.
- Wake up at 7:45 eastern time
- @7:55 am call the passport number 877-487-2778 (This have to be exactly 14 days before your plane ticket or less. If less, it will get harder to find an appointment)
- Click 1 (For English), then 1 (New Passport)
, then 2 (To continue). That is 112
- Listen for the options, and notice that it say click
4 3 to repeat this menu
- Click
4 3 to repeat, and keep doing this while watching your watch
- When your watch hits exactly 8 :00 am, then hit
2 1 (for travelling within 14 days option)
- Now you will be waiting for an agent. If you are very lucky, you will be waiting few minutes or maybe as long as 15-20 minutes.
- If you did not hit the
2 1 option exactly at 8 am, you may have to wait for more than an hour and half
Thank you for the corrections and updates and I’m glad you were able to schedule an appointment! Hopefully this means being able to leave the agency with a passport on that very day. Please keep us posted further if you can.
