You are depending on what kind of emergency you have. Most people flying out same day will get their passport same day. Everyone else, next business day. Like the other person says, you need proof of citizenship. And some form of id with your picture on it. For many people, it's just their old passports.
Thou can get it the same day it takes about 4 hours. As far as identification you need something with your picture on it.
