You can still do this in the Houston Texas office. There's a phone line you can call to get an appointment, but there's no guarantee you'll get an appointment. I've had one co-worker who went to Houston and got his done in one day. Another spent the money on a service and couldn't get the passport for his newborn daughter. With less than two days to the flight home to Morocco they took the baby to stand in the lines at the passport office. He said it took a couple of hours, but they got the passport.
another friend whose daughter travels regularly every summer said that she was warned that if the passport is within six months of expiration, you can't leave the country on it. alex On 6/5/07, Sharon Collier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I have heard that if you go to the Passport office itself, you can walk it through. That was years ago, don't know if it works today. My son applied for his first passport on May 3 of this year. It arrived in the mail 8 days later. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2007 1:07 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: Re: [h-cost] About Passports Just FYI Right. I applied about 18 months ago for a passport, and paid for the expedited service. They got it to me in a week under three months, despite assuring me that the expedited service would get it to me in less than two weeks. I missed a free 2-month-long trip to Europe because of it. Yes, I'm still bitter about that one.
