    Passport in hand by 3:10pm!
    Jessica B.

    We had a major travel SNAFU.. realized on a Saturday that my passport was set to expire less than the required 3-months after our departure from Greece. Husband and kids were good to go, somehow it slipped through the cracks after months of planning that mine was not. We are flying to Greece on Wednesday! I spent the evening researching all of our options and decided the only sure way was to get a same- day appointment at a passport agency to renew my passport. I was lucky enough to secure an appointment at the Buffalo Passport Agency for noon on Monday- 2 days before our departure to Greece. I booked a last minute flight from NC and made it to Buffalo NY. I arrived at the passport agency about 90 minutes early and they let me in. I breezed through check in (pro tip- have all your paperwork and required documents ready!) My number was called, I shared my flight details and renewal forms- and the most wonderful employee told me to come back between 3pm and 4pm to retrieve my new passport. The experience was incredible, every employee I came in contact with was kind, patient and helpful. I was in and out in 25 minutes and then came back a few hours later to pick up my passport. I read every review on yelp before my appointment- and I can now add to the positive experience feedback. It's not often that such a stressful situation can be transformed so quickly. Thank you to the wonderful team at the Buffalo Passport Agency!

    I applied for my newborn's passport expedited service.It's been a month and I haven't received the passport yet,I have an emergency back home I have to travel as soon as possible before Eid ul adha.My husband is ill I don't know what do I have tried to call them but no one is picking up.

    The customer service was terrible, very rude and unsympathetic. Be prepared to wait over an hour.

    Ask the Community - Buffalo Passport Agency

    Does the Buffalo Passport Agency take passport photos? We have had issues in the past with Walgreens, CVS, etc. So we've preferred a passport agency doing it. Esp as we plan to get a passport for our soon-to-arrive infant around April 2026

    Hello - We recommend bringing a passport photo with you to your appointment. To learn more about passport photo requirements, please visit travel.state.gov/photos.

    What kinds of payments are accepted at this facility, do they take cash and/credit or is it only check/money order?

    I have an appt at 7:30am on the 15th for a same day passport. I am driving to Toronto for a job interview scheduled at 5:00pm. Is there a chance I will receive my passport by 1:30 to make it, or will I need to wait until at least 3:00 to pick it up?

    We had an 8 am appt and the passport was ready by 2.

    We have an 8 am appt tomorrow morning. Our adult daughter needs to leave a few hours later to take a college exam. Will they release the passport to my husband? We live 4 hours away.

    Hello - Your daughter can authorize someone (such as your husband) to pick up the passport for her. She can get more information on how to do that when she submits her application at the passport agency.

    Hello - The Buffalo Passport Agency does not have a dedicated parking lot for passport applicants, but there is plenty of parking available near the agency, both metered street parking as well as nearby parking lots.

    I applied for my passport in January in person. I could not come back to pick it up and I was told it would be mailed to me. I still have not received my passport what should I do?

    I have an appointment coming up the day before I travel which was the only one available. It's at 11:30am and I know the agency closes at 4pm. Is it possible to get the passport in time for travel the next day? Are there approx turn around times?

    Hello Chelsea - When you get your passport is dependent on your travel information. The agency will work hard to make sure you have your passport before your departure but they will be able to let you know the specific pick up time when you submit… Read more

The building is easy to access from the highway. For your nexus appointment, they will require a print out of your booking confirmation in order to enter the building. You also need your passport and second piece of id (i.e. driver's license). Once inside, the waiting room was spacious with a bathroom. I was actually called in early for my appointment. The interview was more informative than questioning on the Canadian side. They also seemed to be adhering to a tight schedule so they offered me a pass to help get me across the border for the second half of the interview. Overall it was an extremely pleasant experience. The border guard was great (been doing the job for 24 years) and I would recommend this location to get your Nexus card.

    Lots of parking in front. Once you walk down the sidewalk to the place you're encountered with two…read moredoors. Door #1 is where you first confirm your appointment, sign initial paperwork, get your picture taken, fingerprints scanned, as well as retinas. Then, head outside and follow the yellow line to Door #2 where you wait again in another waiting room to be called for an interview. This place loses a big star for not having private rooms. As we sat in the waiting room we all heard an officer ask one of the applicants about their criminal history and we could hear what he divulged--not cool. Also, they may ask you when was the last time you were in a specific city in the U.S. even though they have all of that information on the screen in front of them--they're testing your honesty! If you're a new applicant, you have to meet with both a U.S. Homeland Security officer and a CBSA (Canadian) officer. Former and existing Nexus cardholders only need to meet with a U.S. officer. Your new Nexus card will be in the mail within 7-10 business days.
