ktravel Posted June 2, 2013 #1 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I have been asking my DH to make sure his passport needed to be renewed or not. His is ok So I go to the spot to get my passport out and check and it is not there. I have cleaned every drawer, suitcase, tote and purse out. No where to be found. I am going to check everything one more time. My question is I wonder how long to get a new passport and do I have to start with new process? Go to post office and give all information birth certificate, etc. What is cost now? I do not like to wait till last minute to do things. Knowing my luck I will find it after I get a new one and pay out$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradUT Posted June 3, 2013 #9 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I was in my local post office last week and heard one of the USPS employees tell a couple who had come in for passports that they were accepting appointments for June 28th! I have used this particular post office for many years (and used it to get passports) and this is the first time I had ever heard anything about having to get an appointment to apply for a passport. I'm hoping that other post offices in our city do not have this requirement or that the wait times are not so long. (I would have probably had a fit if I were coming in to apply for a passport and was told I had to wait a month to simply apply. Add on another 4 weeks for the passport to reach me and I'd be really mad!) Anyway, the point of the story is that you may want to call your own post office before you head over there to apply for your new passport to replace the one that was lost.

Saving Up To Be Eccentric Posted June 3, 2013 #10 Share Posted June 3, 2013 You can go online to find which offices do appointments, and sometimes find other locations (like a study abroad office on a college campus). Expediting the passport isn't cheap, but it's better than not having it in hand when you need to leave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo's Rule Posted June 3, 2013 #12 Share Posted June 3, 2013 $125 to state dept. $25 to USPS It's $150 now? I paid $134 or $131 for mine. Still high, but good grief.

Anyway, the point of the story is that you may want to call your own post office before you head over there to apply for your new passport to replace the one that was lost. It really depends on where you go. Some PO only do them by appointment and others you can walk in during the hours they are doing them. That couple obviously didn't research before they went traipsing up there. Or may be they were in the area and thought they'd give it a shot? Who knows? But thanks for sharing this information because not everyone is aware of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sparks1093 Posted June 3, 2013 #13 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Please re-read OP's post...Oh I don't know-Something about REPLACING a passport?:D The person you quoted was pointing out that there may be an alternative that is available. I have always found that alternatives are helpful to keep in mind in case Plan A goes south. The OP may have the time to get the passport replaced prior to sailing but someone else in the same situation who is following this thread or who has found the thread on a search may not have the time and having the reminder could help them. One never knows who will benefit from a thread discussion.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine5715 Posted June 3, 2013 #14 Share Posted June 3, 2013 The form for a missing passport is simple and available at the issuing agency. You can get a replacement or new passport at a neighboring community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, the point of the story is that you may want to call your own post office before you head over there to apply for your new passport to replace the one that was lost. We had that issue when we went to apply for ours a couple months ago. I went online and picked the PO that said they did it on Saturdays. Other offices in the area said they did it by appointment. This one did not. We showed up only to find we did need to book an appointment and they were 3 weeks out. Very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austinwarmwater Posted September 19, 2013 #19 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Quoted from above - "If the Online Passport Status System or the National Passport Information Center has indicated that your newly issued passport has been * mailed * out, but you have not received it after ten business days, you should contact...." What does "mailed" mean? I used a third party passport company to replace my lost passport. Travel.State.Gov, the Application Status page now tells me: "Thank you for submitting your application for a U.S. passport book! It is currently being processed. Your passport application locator number is #########. Please verify pick-up date and time from your Will-Call receipt. Your passport will be ready at that time." I requested expedited service from the third party passport company. Will my passport be sent USPS Priority, UPS, FedEx, USPS Express, ....? How many days once "mailed"? The passport company just tells me that I will have it in hand - "middle of next week". That would be Sep 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I went on line, filled out the forms, printed them, went to the local post office and got my picture taken for $15 (terrible picture by the way! ) Then mailed the whole bundle off and received my new passport within three weeks! Got it yesterday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
