[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I lived in Raleigh, NC a few years ago, I had to renew my passport and the Post Office offered passport renewal like once a month. Reflective of the demand down in that backwards red state, which is most of the US[/quote]

We took a cousin who lives in an impoverished area of Ohio on a trip abroad with us. She got her passport with a next-day appointment at the local courthouse. Meanwhile around here, the soonest appointment at our nearest post office (after 10 phone calls to get them to answer the phone) was 6 weeks out. The demand just isn't there where she lives.[/quote]

What are you taking about?  You can get your passport renewed same day at the passport office in downtown DC, something they don’t have in rural Ohio.  I have done it multiple times. [/quote]

Yes, but there's a premium for that service. PP was indicating that demand is so low in Ohio she just happened to get a next day appointment. Doesn't mean the passport actually arrived the next day.[/quote]

My brother lives in rural Maine.  We happened to be visiting him when it was time to renew my 10yr DDs passport.  I called up the courthouse in his town to inquire about getting an appointment.  They asked me why would I need an appointment.  I packed all of the necessary documents and we went on our visit.  One morning we got up and strolled into the courthouse.  In and out in under 15 min with no appointment.  The passport arrived back at our house before the date of my DC based appointment would have occurred.[/quote]
