What is a Regional Passport Agency?
Regional Passport Offices are run by the Department of State and have passport printing facilities on site. Most are only open to US citizens who plan to leave the country in the next two weeks, or who plan to leave within four weeks and need both a new passport and a visa for their destination.
Unfortunately, many travelers find these offices to be inaccessible or just plain inconvenient. In the entire country, there are only 24 of them, and their office hours tend to be limited. Some are only open for four hours each day!
They also operate by appointment only. Even with an appointment, you’ll have to take a number and there may be a line. This US Regional Passport Office Directory will help you locate the one that’s closest to you, but if you don’t see one nearby, dread the thought of traveling and waiting in line, or can’t get an appointment that works with your schedule, don’t despair. You have other options!
