Am I eligible to use the facility if I travel to Mexico on May 1st as expedited?

Appointments at a passport agency are limited for urgent, unplanned travel within the next two weeks. Currently, routine processing takes 4-6 weeks and expedited processing ($60 additional fee) takes 2-3 weeks. Since you are traveling on May 1,… 

I must have lost my passport on a recent return trip from Thailand. I know I had it to renter the U.S. in Los Angeles. I plan to return soon to continue volunteering . I have a photo of my info page in passport. Can I get a new passport here?

Please report your passport lost/stolen and learn how to apply for a new passport at travel.state.gov/loststolen. If you have proof that you are traveling in the next 14 days (such as an itinerary/airline ticket), check appointment availability at… 

My travel is coming up in a week and we have not received my son's passport yet. We had to send back my husband notarized to complete the application. Well now it has been 18 weeks since we applied. My question is how do you know if you get it?

I had to contact my US Representative to find out if they received the updated application since there was an error with my first application. There is no way to contact the Western Passport Center directly--the phone numbers I found were either… 

I travel in just over two weeks, so I'm going to be calling soon for same day appointment for me and my 3 kids. Would we just need one appointment for all of us? Thanks.

Yes, one appointment is all you need for your party. However, sometimes there isn't availability, and would suggest calling them every day until you are able to get an appointment. Because there are people traveling from other parts of the states to… 

I am at a loss, last name OCEAN. I paid for expedited service and got my girls passports but not mine. I am due to travel next week and it is sitting at this agency. Can someone please look into my application and send it today? I am located in CA

Call your State Senators office. Let them know what is going on, often they can look into the issue for you.

Hello, we have an appointment tomorrow at 5:30 PM. However, it says you guys close at 3 PM. Is our appointment still valid?

I had a 6pm appt 2 weeks ago. They close from 3-5pm, but you can go at 5pm. Make certain you have all of the paperwork requirements with you, and your photos. Good luck.

Urgent Help Needed! My husband submitted an expedited passport renewal on June 1 and it is still showing as in progress online. The 800 number told the same and that there are no appointments available at the WPC. Can we walk in?? We are desperate!

Go to the western center in Tucson you don’t need appointment, just prove of traveling and you could get it the same day. Go early at 8, I got my and grandson my traveling is on 07/15 2021. I truly recommend this facility 🥰they do an amazing job

My daughter's application documents are at this center. I have no confirmation that the expedited request has been received (per last call to national number). Travel date is 7/14. Would I be able to retrieve her passport if I go in person?

Hello - Unfortunately, we are operating by appointment only and do not accept walk-ins. Expedited requests are reviewed and accepted based on travel date and an agency's ability to process expedited work. For case-specific information, you'll have… 

It appears my expidited passport will not arrive before we travel. When I called they told me I can make an appointment and apply in person for a same day passport and just repay all the fees. Is this accurate?

Hi - you can make an appointment on our website, passportappointment.travel.state.gov. Appointments are extremely limited so you may not be able to make one immediately. Check several times during the day because someone may cancel their…

Hi Ileana - The passport agency will make every effort to issue your passport in time for travel. A passport is often issued the same day for in-person appointments with proof of urgent travel. When you arrive at your appointment, you must provide… 

What forms of payment are accepted and are we able to make one payment towards entire household or is each payment processed individually?

It was a wonderful experience for us and our dog, Hannah. She is a 12 year old Lab and had never…read morebeen away from us so I didn't know how she would react.. But Chris was perfect for her, calm, straight forward and sent text messages and pictures twice a day so we knew she was happy and having a good time. He took all her stuff and also kept her out of trouble which with a Lab meant keeping her from finding non food items to eat which takes vigilance! I would certainly recommend Happy Tails Travel to anyone looking for safe comfortable travel arrangements for their pets- I didn't know they existed! Thanks to all of you who make this happen! Caryl

Like…read moremost people with dogs, I was concerned -- I didn't want him to be sad or stressed or any of the things that dogs can be when they're away from their peeps. Happy Tails sent us multiple pictures and videos daily, and in them Mickey looked like he was taking it all in stride and having a great time. Hugo, his driver really got Mickey and totally loved on him. Mickey was happy to see us after three days, and he didn't look any worse for the wear. He followed us around closely for a little while but was still his goofy, happy and wonderful self. The people at Happy Tails are serious animal lovers and they care about their precious cargo! I give them a whole-hearted recommendation!
