How to get emergency passport renewal in 24 hours

Emergency passport renewal in 24 hours requires proof of urgent international travel and a visit to a regional passport agency or acceptance facility that offers expedited services. You'll need to make an appointment, bring required documents including proof of travel within 14 days, and pay expedited fees of $60 plus standard renewal costs.

Confirm you qualify for emergency service. You must have international travel within 14 days (or 4 weeks if you need a visa) to qualify for emergency passport renewal. Domestic travel doesn't qualify.
Make an urgent appointment. Call the National Passport Information Center at 1-877-487-2778 or book online. Appointments are limited and often available only at regional passport agencies in major cities.
Gather required documents. Bring your current passport (even if expired within 5 years), completed DS-82 form, new passport photo, proof of urgent travel (flight confirmation or hotel booking), and payment for expedited service.
Visit the passport agency. Arrive early for your appointment at a regional passport agency. Processing typically takes 8 hours same-day, but can extend to next business day depending on volume.
Pay expedited fees. Standard renewal is $130, expedited service adds $60, and overnight delivery adds $19.53. Total cost is typically $209.53 for 24-hour renewal with delivery.
Arrange pickup or delivery. You can wait for same-day pickup at some locations, or choose overnight delivery to your address. Confirm timing before leaving the facility.
