Getting a 24-hour emergency passport (U.S.) involves urgent appointments at passport agencies/centers for life-or-death emergencies or urgent travel within days, requiring proof of travel, completed forms (DS-11/DS-82), photos, and fees, or contacting a passport expediting company like RushMyPassport for potentially faster service, but it's not guaranteed and often results in limited-validity emergency passports.
For U.S. Citizens (Urgent Travel):
Call to Book: If traveling within 14 days (or 28 if needing a visa), call 1-877-487-2778 to see if you can get an appointment at a Passport Agency/Center for Urgent Travel Service or Life-or-Death Emergency Service.
Gather Documents: You'll need your proof of urgent travel (airline tickets), completed passport application form (DS-11 for new/replacement, DS-82 for renewal), passport photo, and fees.
Apply in Person: Attend your appointment; these agencies process applications, sometimes same-day or within 1-2 business days, but availability isn't guaranteed.
You know, he’s mostly a pawn, friendly with the current administration and has no interest whatsoever in the needs of his constituents, let alone one constituent.
The last time I thought I’d use a passport was in the 90s. I still have it, but it only lasted 10 years from the date it was issued. Ah! The memories of that day.
Today, I have a Real-ID and I’m not sure it’s good for much aside from proving I’m me when going to vote - even though I have a voter registration card too.
In 21 years you can accumulate a lot of junk. I’m going to be at this address 31 years coming up and will compare with you when you catch up with me.
My sincere congratulations on finding your passport and happy travels where you are headed along with a safe return home.
These special places where you have to appear in person… they aren’t just everywhere, are they?
Things change, but back in the day, my mother had her first overseas group tour planned, to see Scandinavia. But then, oops, . Chernobyl had its little explosion thingie, all secretive (What? Release of deadly radiation? Nyet, nothing to see here. What, you can SENSE it? Oops)… because it was still the USSR. Suddenly, mom’s roommate freaked out, and cancelled on her. And there was an empty space, and a mom on her first big overseas trip, and with strangers. My sister volunteered for this last minute half price trip (roommate didn’t get a refund.) But it was LUCKY that she lived in Houston, I was told, one of the magical places that these appear-in-person and rush-a-passport government places was located. (It wasn’t life or death, obviously, or a 24-hour window, Just a much shorter than usual time period.)
Where are these magical places? (I’m just guessing nowhere near me. Best get my own ducks in a row…)
This is absolutely me. The older you get,the more safe spots you have. Because you forget the previous safe spot.
Regarding the doily from Ukraine. Buy a picture frame and some pretty fabric to line the back. Put the doily in the frame, against the fabric and hang this frame on your wall. You may not be using it in the traditional way,but you will remember your friend and Ukraine every time you look at it.
I lost my passport in the same kind of pocket while vacationing in Los Angeles. Because I’m Canadian, it was a seriously big problem. It was recommended that I catch a flight that would take me close to the Canadian border and then my husband could pick me up and we could drive across the border into southern Alberta. He got back to Canada before I landed in Great Falls. He had found my passport and drove down, so we had a pleasant lunch and headed home. He will never fly with me again unless he has both passports on his person at all times…
Oh, how many times have I gone through this same scenario! That panic, the digging through all the spots Where I'll Be Able To Find It. Such a relief when you do find that thing!
You can get an emergency passport, in 24 hours.

Thanks for the advice.
Ask your House Representative if they’re friendly.

I’d like to say that he’s a Dl©©, but this is a family friendly app - isn’t it?

I love this idea. Thank you!

We finally got a safe, and that’s where “most” important things live.
Wicked smart.

That must be a nightstand with a file drawer.
Mine would never hold that amount.
However, this is absolutely an "it me" moment.
I was a little shocked how much it held. It was like that Mary Poppins bag where more junk just kept appearing.
Oh, how many times have I gone through this same scenario! That panic, the digging through all the spots Where I'll Be Able To Find It. Such a relief when you do find that thing!
You just made me realize my partner could not find his passport, and reading this article helped us locate it. Thank you!
Yay! Glad I could help!
Mount the doily into a frame with the Ukrainian flag .
Love this idea. Thanks.
