Very smooth application service -- pre-screened application materials, check in, wait for processing, leave and return to pick up passport same day from 2:30pm to 3:30pm (except Thursday at noon), regardless the appointment time at 8am, 10am etc..
Difficult to find a booking slot though. Can only make appointment throught the natioanl passport call center. Need to travel within 14 days of calling to be eligible for appointment. I called three times and landed the Atlanta slot but I considered myself very lucky. I was told Washington DC is easier to book.

Very nice people. Via the phone I could only get an appt if it was an emergency and when I got there they didn’t asked me for proof of anything. But other then the phone service they are very nice at the actual building. Don’t try to walk in they will make you leave.

The passport agency does not have any appointments for a week straight and the number you have to call does not if give any updated status on your passport. They are basically no help at all.
$205...but they’ll make you return to pick it up if your flight is more than one day away. (For a Tues appt. ...Same day issue only if flight is Tues or Wed. If your flight is Thurs. you will have to come back Wed to pick it up.)
On May 18 we applied for the passports at the agency. They said it would be ready in 2-3 weeks and didnot let us expedite for out trip on June 18. Today is June 7 and they dont even know what stage our passports are at. What should we do?

Alexis Alejo | Oct 14, 2019
I’m in the same boat. I applied May 6 and was told I would get it before end of month so need to expedite. I check passport status online and it’s in process. Called the number off website Wed and they said it takes 4-6 weeks, they are aware of my travel date and I should get it in time, but if I was worried I could go to Atlanta to get it. So I’m going to see if I can make appointment for this upcoming week to go to Atlanta and get it. I would have gladly paid the expedite fee if I wasn’t ensured it would be here in time.

Meredith Chafin | Oct 13, 2020
I sent mine in to be renewed back at the beginning of March and I received my passport August 10th. Unfortunately, it's going to take a while because they got behind during the shutdown.

Dawn Brooks | Oct 14, 2018
Honest Seeker | Oct 14, 2018
Emergency passport. You will get the passport same day, need to provide proof of travel
You will first need to Google and call the National Passport Center number, and they will then schedule you an appointment for here. That way you will bring in all of the documents that might be needed.
I've been on the line for over an hour to get an appointment scheduled. I donp;t have time to sit on the phone for another hour. Is there a way to make an appointment online?
Molly Cole | Sep 13, 2022
Jillary Martin | Sep 13, 2022
Phone call is the only way
Do senior citizens have to make an appointment at the passport office?
Call the passport agency line daily to book your appointment. The Atlanta location will make the passport on site that day and you can pay about $20 to get it shipped overnight.
If you need it desperately fast call your congress representative and explain your emergency situation to them. It's what me and my dad did and we got an appointment within a day or 2
You have to go there to puck it up. They take another pictures and bring your flight info, birth certificate, social security card and ID just in case then they tell you to come in few hours to puck it up, but don't go far because they in 30min. to 1 hour they have it ready. You keep calling every day started 7:55 because if you call later they don't give more appointments. Good luck and enjoy your trip.
I missed placed my passport. do i have to do the whole process over
IAMMSWANDA GOD'PROPHETESS | Jul 15, 2022
L Bell | Jul 15, 2022
Yes, I just went thru that exact same situation. I misplaced my passport so I had to report it as lost and complete the DS11 form and go thru the new passport process
They are not going to give an appointment unless it is close to travel. You have to wait two weeks before traveling to get the appointment. If you haven't receive it before three weeks before your trip, then start calling early, at least 5 minutes before 8 am to get an appointment. Sometimes they tell you if you want to travel to another city or state to get it.
Calling is a nightmare, the people answer are really not so polite. Call every day until you get the appointment start at 7:55am to get it. Print the flight info, birth certificate and ss card just in case and money to pay. My could get 3 days before his trip.
If you get an appointment you can get it the same day. Now there lies the problem....it's almost impossible to get through to get an appointment and as of lately no available appointments unless you get emergency clearance from your representative.

I scheduled my appointment in New Orleans because that was the closest appointment. Then I called everyday until an appointment opened up in Atlanta and switched my appointment location.

Jean Glanville | Oct 13, 2021
Mirian Cruz | Oct 13, 2021
No and it's extremely hard to get an appointment here
You have to call and call and call. When you finally get through, be prepared to be on hold for 2 hours or more. I finally tried hitting 2 for Spanish, I was only on hold for 1 hour then.
Is the atl office accepting walk ins for urgent travel??
Keith Zeek | Oct 13, 2021
Atia Newerls | Oct 13, 2021
No but if you wait I heard they will try to fit you in. Appointments are priority. When I was there they saw people with Urgent travel needs as walk ins.
Appointments are booked will they take me if I just do an walk in ?
Jasmine Granville | Oct 13, 2021
Jeremiah Ellis | Oct 13, 2021
Get there super early. Appt portal opens really early. But they go fast so you have to be quick. Also the earlier you are you may can go in as a walk in. I got there at 615am. No appt. I was out by 930am. Picked up my passport at 2pm. All in the same day.
Do they accept walk ins?? Or i have to make an appointment
Cindy Duarte | Oct 13, 2021
Hae-Kyung Sophie Kim | Oct 13, 2021
Walk-ins are not accepted. However, you can wait there for them to let you know when to log in to make appointments. They are very helpful and they try to make sure everyone's taken care of. If you have to get the passport within 3 days, be there before 8am and you will be ok. Make sure to have all the documents ready. Gotta have smart phone ready to make appointments online when they tell you to try!
I just got off the phone with the # and I’m confused. I applied June 16 and they received it June 18. I am supposed to leave July 24. How do I go about getting a passport from here?

Lexi Snyder | Oct 13, 2021
Rodrick Adams | Oct 13, 2021
Buy your ticket. Make sure you have everything you need. And they'll give you your passport same day.
You should be able to renew via mail by sending your old passport in. Check on their website. The Agency currently only by appt and it is near impossible to get one unless you are traveling urgently.
where in north Georgia can I get interview for passport?
Bonnie Burgamy | Oct 13, 2021
Iris Omokhodion | Oct 13, 2021
You can do it post office. You need to schedule the appt online. Only if it is extremely urgent, then you need to get an appt at the passport agency in downtown Atlanta. It is very hard to get an appt though and needs to travel within 3 days.
No one is answering and I leave in 5 days. I can’t book an appointment online because they’re always booked. Should I just drive there?
ayat guruza | Oct 13, 2021
Secedrick Flournory | Oct 13, 2021
Have you already applied for a passport? If not, good luck it's a 10-12 week process. Even if you go the agency located in the Midtown Atlanta post office, be prepared to wait at least 5 hrs...
Do you need proof of flight? anything else? hotel room? plans?
April McBride | Oct 13, 2021
Secedrick Flournory | Oct 13, 2021
It depends on what date you're flying out of the country. You're gonna need ss card, birth certificate, driver's license. If married, you need marriage certificate or license. Names must be the same on birth certificate and license. Original or certified or notarized copies only... They will not accept copies.
From my experiences within the last 6 weeks, this agency is a complete ripoff and joke.. Each rep you talk to tells you something different. Be prepared to be at their office for at least 5hrs or more. These ppl are very incompetent and need more training!!! Good luck, If you have an emergency, I would suggest you call a state representative or senators office 1st...
No, my wife and I drove 5 hours with our baby to get a passport and we had a flight in 48 hours but they refused to see us. We read that if you have proof of travel within 3 days you can get a passport printed there but not true. There were 8 or 9 other people there in same situation as us. We found out from security that its only life or death situations and you have to call your local state senator to get you an appointment. We tried but they make you fill out a form and provide supporting evidence of the life or death situation. Very unfortunate they wouldn't assist
Call the agency on Peachtree Street in ATL. No walk-ins allowed on that one. The one on 1072 W Peachtree in Midtown Atlanta is in the back of Post office, no appts needed. Be prepared to be there at least 4hrs or more
I will be traveling march 5th to Mexico... I need to get a passport book. I have a passport card that has expired. And I have a friend traveling that needs a first time passport. Can we get sameday service???
Matt Tucker | Oct 13, 2020
Shankar Devidas | Oct 13, 2020
Unlikely, given that your travel date is 2 weeks away. But you could pay for expedited service and have the passport well in time for your travel.
Yes if they are open. You need to make sure you have all of the documents in hand when you arrive. The Atlanta location is awesome but go online and make sure you have everything. Both parents have to be present or a statement of the parent that is not present is needed.
I need to fill out my temporary work permit within 8 days or my employer is going to make me pay 300 dollars to do it on my own. My trip is 12/2 but I'm hoping this temp permit will act like a visa. Yes?
If you have travel plans within 2 weeks. Make an appointment online. Make certain that you bring your flight itinerary and hotel reservations with you along with the other necessary documents
If you need it the same day or fairly quickly for an upcoming trip, I would recommend going into the agency. If it is not an emergency, mailing would be fine. Hope that helps! The Atlanta office was AMAZING! In and out within 2 hours with a passport for my son for our trip that left that night.
hi, is there photo service available in the agency?
Hepcibha Addakula | Oct 14, 2019
Ari Leylani | Oct 14, 2019
No, you must take pictures with you. There is however a drugstore within walking distance where pictures can be taken. If that is the case make sure you do not wear a light or white colored top for your pictures. Otherwise your application can be denied.

if you request an expedite passport, so long as all your documents are complete, it can take 2 to 4 weeks. best thing to do is call, get an appointment for an expedite passport and bring your debit card because its going to cost some moola.

I have an appt at 8am for expired passport. Flight leaves at 11am. Is it possible to get mine renewed in time so I dont miss my flight? I have everything ready, form, photo. Old passport, etc
A Google User | Oct 14, 2019
Naana Bediako | Oct 14, 2019
Hmm. That's pushing it. U just tell them and see what they can do. They are very accommodating and so if it's possible they but I am not 100% sure of your window. Remember if your flight is 11u have to be at the airport B4 10. So u are asking to be served within an hour or so.
Yes you just need to make sure you have an appointment and all the documents. If it is needed quickly (trip is today/tomorrow) you will probably get it that day. I renewed mine at 8am and picked it up at 1:00pm.
My two boys, ages 14 and 16, need to renew their passports since they expire on June 24, 2019. Can I do it online or do they need to come with me in person?

Melinda Barefoot | Oct 14, 2019
Shankar Devidas | Oct 14, 2019
According to the website "All passport applicants under 16 must apply in person using Form DS-11." You will also need both parents to authorize the issuance.
More information at https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/apply-renew-passport/under-16.html
Old passports have to be cancelled before a new passport gets issued unless you report them lost or stolen. If you try to get a new passport at the same time the agent will see an open or processing application! I recommend that you call them up and explain the situation. You will probably need to pay again, call them and ask all the questions you need to ask!

Mr. Dale Blake | Oct 14, 2018
Honest Seeker | Oct 14, 2018
Been covered already. Check other questions, roughly $160
The standard Passport process takes about 4-6 weeks and has a $110 fee.
Expedited passports require proof of travel in the immediate future (except on the Passport Day Saturday each month) and are turned around in 2-3 weeks. This service carries an additional $60 surcharge.
If you need it faster than that, call the Passport Agency or visit their website.

It’s within a 30 -45 minute drive usually. It will depend on if your situation. I travel internationally 5-6 times a year and have had to get an expedited passport for me and several different members of my family several times. We were all traveling within 2 weeks or less and we never got our passport the same day. We got it within 48 hours.
