I'm trying to help my wife get her passport sorted out. She had one issued when she was 1 month shy of her 16th birthday, so she's not eligible for a renewal and instead must submit an entirely new application. That's fine and all, but I'm having a really hard time getting her an appointment.
For starters, she's a teacher and every passport center (most at post offices) require an appointment on weekdays from 8:30-4. She's at school from 7:15-4:00 every single day. I'm guessing she will just have to take off work. Secondly, ever time I try to call a post office or other facility, they won't take an appointment over the phone and refer me to an 844 number. I have called this number weekly and it only asks me to leave a name and number and they'll return my call in the order it was received. So, of course I never get a call. It is extremely frustrating.
Our trip is coming up at the end of June, so we're reaching that point where it needs to get done. Any thoughts?
