My passport, SS Card, and Birt cirt. was all in the same file which means I will have to call Orlindo Fl and have them mail it

Many years ago, I needed a passport for a last minute trip to Whistler. I ended up at the Federal Building (westwood) and got a passport the next day. But then again, I had all my paperwork. I believe it will take more time to get your docs together than it will to get a passport. Good luck!

If you end up at the Passport Agency you will need to make an appointment and show that you are leaving within two weeks. If you have more than two weeks you can do the "Expedited Passport" thing at the Post Office and it is going to cost you right at $170.00. Good Luck...... Let me know if you need the number for the passport agency and I can get it for you.

They post estimate times as well. Also a number of "agencies" came up with I googled "expedited passport" -- I do NOT know if they're speed it up or are just middlemen. Hit the .gov first and see if you can tell what's real.

I just went thru the process to get my first passport. Called, made appt for following week, spent half a day in the agency downtown (didn't need to show travel plans, did pay 60 buck expedite fee. picked up the passport at the agency with appointment and 10 minute wait two days later. My understanding is the SD agency is unique in that you don't need to be traveling within 2 weeks to expedite matters, just pony up the bucks. Tip: try to get the first AM appointment and show up a little early. The guard told me someone did that the day I was there and walked out with their passport 2 hrs later.
