Emergency Passports
In cases where the applicant must travel urgently or has an
immediate need for a passport, the Embassy or Consulate can issue an
emergency limited-validity passport, which cannot be extended.
Emergency passports are valid for only 12 months. Usually, same-day
issuance is available for applications that are complete and
straightforward. In some cases, however, we may be required to refer
to the Department of State. Therefore, some cases may take longer.
Emergency passport applications must be made in person by the
applicant at this office within American Citizens Services
Unit public working hours.
Please follow the Passport
Renewal link to access instructions for your specific
application type. Application requirements, including fees, for
emergency passports are the same as those for full-validity
passports.
When your emergency travel has been completed, you are advised to
apply for a full-validity passport as soon as possible. If you live
in Ukraine, you will complete an application for a full validity
passport and bring it to the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy,
Kyiv. If you live outside Ukraine, you can submit your application
for a full-validity passport to the U.S. Embassy or Consulate where
you reside, or if in the United States, your local Passport Agency.
There will be no additional cost as long as the emergency passport
is still valid and is presented for cancellation. If the emergency
passport expires or is lost, passport application fees must be paid
again.
