I had to get mine in a hurry about 2 years ago. It does cost more but I had mine back in less than 10 days. I know the protocol has changed a bit in the last year or so. The best bet is to ask at the post office. I know that there are now websites that specialize in this such as rushpassports.com but I don't know how reputable they are.

A co-worker of mine got his in 21 days about two months ago going the standard route but maybe he was lucky?

Go through your Congressmans Office. *They have people who's job it is to take care of such things.

My wife got hers in a week with the aid of our Honorable Congressman Howard Coble.

And it didn't cost any extra. ;)

They do it for the votes and it works, my wife has voted for him every time since then even though he is not of her party.

Air, I went to Costa a few years ago, and did not need a passport. Just brought my birth certifate and drivers liscenes. They gave me a vistors visa for the trip.

Looks like this dream really might come true. I'll be contacting my congressman in the morning. If all goes well I'll be in Los Suenos January 3-9 catching bills. Now, where did I leave that camera? ;D

Go online and print the form for quick passports at dept of state website.
Then get all your paperwork together and get a bogus trip itinerary that shows you leaving in a couple weeks.
Then drive to the office closest to you, after making an appointment.

The complete process can take as little as two days.

and I think there is minimal extra charges.

We have a lot of international travelers at work
and a few have had to get theirs renewed or new ones in a hurry.
