What a joke! What a joke!! I have no idea why they even have people working there. They can't give you ANY information or help you in the slightest. My mother's passport app was received on Jan 12th. It's been "in process" since then. I called to check on the status and they told me to call back on Feb 27th and they could schedule an appointment for my mother to go into an office to have it expedited. Well, my mother called the passport office today and they still wouldn't help her. The rep told her that there are no available appointments in her area. She can drive to Miami (which is 300 miles away) or she can go to Detroit. WHAT?!? They are advising a 76yr old woman to either drive 300 miles or hop on a plane. This is sickening. My mother is leaving on March 12th and I don't think she will have her passport on time. What a royal waste of time!

Ignorance and Arrogance Rules at the National Passport Center The agents are ignorant about their job. They create facts and use those facts to make decisions. They give conflicting information. They are ignoramnt of the law. They are arrogant and speak with no accountability. Wow, this must be the worst department of the federal government.

If I had the opportunity to give a 0 ⭐… If I had the opportunity to give a 0 ⭐ I would have done it. I applied for my son passport renewal on the 2nd of Mai and my trip was scheduled for July the 18th. My son's passport never arrived never even though it was supposed to be expedited. I am trying to reschedule the trip and just asking the people who are answering to the calls to reschedule me to go to emergency passport office, but, aside for a couple of them who tried to help, most of them were rude, and condescending. No telephone etiquette at all. I have never been through something like that before. I felt humiliated. I was as if I was begging for some money. Now, I will be losing $ 3000 because the airline will only reimburse half of the tickets prices and I will also be missing my sister's wedding.

I initially called within 14 days of my… I initially called within 14 days of my travel date. I was on hold for 5 hours, literally,. Then when they finally got on the line, they asked for my locator number, then said that I need to monitor their website and if we dont receive them in a few days to call back. So I called back at 5am California time and waited for 1 hour to get an appt, the only appt available was the same day at 10:30am in El Paso, Texas. It was the only available appt in the country. My travel date is a few days away and we expedited and over nighted our passports. Their wntire system needs an overhaul, they have a completely out dated platform. Our only options are to push back our trip , thankfully we have trip insurance.

Ridiculous Service !!! One of the worst service I ever seen in my life.I applied for a new passport for my new born on Sep 30, 2022 in a nearby post office. Till date (Mar 09, 2023) I have not received the passport. I was raised in a developing nation with huge populations than here, still the passport service for their citizens are very streamline, prompt and well informed. The people who are working in the nation passport center are du**t one, just to read the information available on their website. Instead of these humans, IVRS would do a better job.
