Schedule a Passport Appointment

Getting a passport requires an in-person appointment at a passport acceptance facility or agency office. This category covers what you need to know before you book, how to find and schedule an appointment in your area, and what to bring when you show up. Whether you're renewing an existing passport or applying for your first one, the appointment process differs based on your situation and location.

The articles here answer practical questions: where to schedule your appointment, what documents and photos you'll need, how long the process typically takes, and what happens during your visit. You'll also find information about expedited services if you have an upcoming trip, and guidance on what to do if you've lost your passport or need to replace it.
