Anyone recently replace a lost passport?
H cannot find his passport which we need for a European trip in 2wks. Do the replacement companies advertising on the net work? How quickly can you get one replaced and what is involved? Thanks.

Hi H,
Go to http://travel.state.gov/passport/for.../ds64_845.html
You have to appear in person to replace a lost passport.
An expediting service might qualify as "appearing in person".

My sister had to replace her passport on one day's notice.
She took a quick flight to Seattle (We live 300 miles away) and went to the passport office where they were able to give her a new one that same day. Be sure to have a passport size picture and a copy of your ticket or itinerary, as the passport office will want proof that it's an emergency.
I can't recall if she needed her birth certificate, but it wouldn't hurt to bring it.

Yes, the replacement companies do work. I can't remember the name of the one we used to use when I was working, but I am sure a travel agent could give you a recommendation. They are pricey but certainly not as costly as flying!
