Emergency Service

The Passport Service will continue to maintain its same day emergency service for those who require a passport for a medical emergency or death of a family member abroad.

The telephone number for the Customer Service Hub is 01 671 1633 or you can contact us by WebChat. We appreciate your patience as we continue to deal with a high volume of calls and chats. 

When applying for an emergency passport, the first thing you must do is remember to keep calm. As you apply for your passport application, double-check if you have filled in the right information. Messing up an emergency passport application is going to cost you your travel. The U.S government may reject your application if an error is noted in the application process. Therefore follow 24 Hour Passport and Visas checklist to make your application process for an emergency passport easier.

Before applying for an emergency passport, you must consider the time constraint and the cost you can afford. Be calm and calculate the time you have before you need to leave the country. You are also required to show evidence of your travel itinerary when you apply for your passport, so make sure you have planned this before starting your passport application process.

Consider other factors and see if you need a passport. If you have to travel to countries including Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico or Bermuda, US passport cards can be used instead of a passport. The passport card is however limited to only land and seaport entry. Air travel is not permitted with the passport card and you must have your passport book in hand. It is also not valid in other countries besides the ones listed above.

What is an Emergency Passport?

An emergency passport can be referred to as the urgent need for a new passport, passport renewal or other passport services due to emergency situations. These situations are defined by Travel State Gov as serious illnesses, injuries, or deaths in your immediate family that require you to travel outside the United States within 72 hours (3 business days). When applying for an emergency passport, you are required to provide a life-or-death emergency reason. You will not be able to apply for an emergency passport if your reason fails to convince the Department of State. There is a different passport application process to follow if you do not require a passport in less than 72 hours (3 business days).

If your travel plans are within 6-8 weeks time then you can get your passport expedited either through the travel state gov department. For this, no emergency reason is required but you do need to consider the option of it taking longer based on the volume of applications that the department of state has to deal with. If you have less than 3 weeks before your travel, you can get your passport expedited through a passport expeditor agency such as ours. An immediate reason to travel outside the country will be required. Keep in mind that the passport expedition will come with an additional charge.

  • The right passport application form (new passport, passport renewal, lost/stolen or other passport services) with all the supporting documents.
  • Proof of the life – or – death emergency (death certificate, a statement from a mortuary, or a signed letter from a hospital or medical professional). Make sure that the document submitted is translated into English or it will not be accepted and could lead to rejection of the emergency passport application.
