I can't find my U.S. passport but am in D.C. Is there a way I can get a rush passport within 48 hours?

http://travel.state.gov/passport/lost/us/us_848.html Good luck. If you have a photocopy of the inside last two pages, it will speed things up.

I'm not sure if they allow this anymore, if it's not a matter of life or death. http://travel.state.gov/passport/about/agencies/agencies_902.html Is the rush passport agency for Washington DC. It's for people traveling in less than two weeks, but an appointment is required. I had a friend who got her passport the same day, but this was several years ago (but post 9/11). You'll also need this information http://travel.state.gov/passport/lost/us/us_848.html And, you may want to call the Passport Info Center here: http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/processing/processing_1740.html Good luck to you and I hope it all works out!
