Renewing an Emergency Limited-Validity Passport for a Full-Validity Passport
If you were issued an emergency, limited-validity passport at an Embassy or Consulate because you had urgent need of travel, then you should apply to renew this passport for a full-validity passport as soon as possible. Please note that two consecutive emergency passports cannot be issued. Your next application must be for a full-validity passport, which will be printed in the United States and take approximately two weeks to arrive.
You must apply in person for this service -- please click here to make an appointment.
