I had an appointment, brought all of the documents I was told to, and recieved my passport the same day (travelling the next day). All of the employees were kind and communicated clearly. I am very thankful for their service. Masks were required. Bags were sent through security.

A year ago, a social security office in Vegas lost my daughter’s and my passports while they were sending the documents (including her birth certificate in the middle of a pandemic) back to us via USPS without a tracking number. Unexpectedly at the same time, my father-in-law living overseas became gravely ill, in a life-or-death condition which required us to remake our passports to fly out within a few days.
This San Diego Passport Agency was the only place where we were able to schedule for that at the time. The agency processed our passports on the same day of the appointment date without a fuss. There was a lady who was being denied from making a passport because she didn’t make an appointment. I guess you just gotta keep on calling until you can reach them. The security also found my dropped wallet, which they kept safe until I came back a few hours later. Their professionalism was something that shined on that day, which to this day I still remember. Thanks to them my family was able to meet my in-law on time.

If you’re going to change the policy for when people can make appointments for such an important service that is already incredibly snail paced, perhaps update your website to A) give a warning that the policy is changing and B) Give the correct timeframe for making an appointment as now anyone following your own stated and historically stated directions will find themselves without an appointment to be had for essentially an overpriced printing machine to “renew” passports that are taking 2+ months to receive the traditional way with good old USPS shipping. Only 26 agencies in this country and not all are even open, Join 2022 guys I can literally buy a car online and have it at my front door the next day but you cant even keep your website up to date to print at a snails pace.
I need to go to Tijuana soon (from San Diego) for a dental emergency and my passport needs to be renewed. I obviously don't have airline tickets to prove a trip within two weeks. Is it still possible to get expedited/same-day service?

So you can cross the border with the expired one up to 5yrs
No. They open at 8 am. If your passport is ready the day before you can. You will skip everyone waiting in the line.

They need to update their website with falls information, I went at 3 o'clock and th3 facility was already close, as their websites said differently at 4 pm 1600 hrs. I even asked for help because I'm going to PCS soon so I can update .y family's passport and no help at all.. so sad how they treat military and DoD employees... and their phone line is useless deadened

I have an appointment in Mex in 4 weeks. Can i get a same day passport tomorrow?
Ted Perez | Aug 19, 2019
Martín Cárdenas | Aug 19, 2019
As far as I know you'll need a secondary photo identification. A school i.d. and expired driver's license. Since you're appointment is in 4 weeks the turn around time would not be next day. More like 3-5 days most likely. Hope this helps.
Can I come to this place as a walk in even though my flight is not for about 4 weeks ? or is this just for emergency expediting ?
Nina hauschild | Aug 19, 2019

They take walk ins but you have to be traveling within two weeks. Four weeks may be pushing it

You don't need a passport if you are only flying domestic
That is a very good question. Usually they need a hotel or flight itinerary. I don't think they will accept dental appointments though. You can try I guess. I used to work there and I forgot if they accepted that or not
It depends on urgent your situation is. If you need it in 4 days and you have proof of travel that you need it in 4 days then yes
Is this only for US Passport?
Do they have other services?
Do we have a local International Agency who can help with visa and renewal foreign passport of the country you was born in?
Thanks.

joe tannous | Aug 19, 2018
Normal fee for passport application form ds-11 is $110, +$25 processing, +$60 expedited fee if you need it faster. I recommend you walk-in early right when they open, there will be a wait, but they can get you a passport same day for emergencies like this. You will have to come back with the receipt in the afternoon for pickup.
