Lost or Stolen Passports

Emergency Passports

The Consulate General can issue temporary passports in emergency cases.  These passports are limited in validity and cannot be extended. You will need to exchange the limited-validity passport for a full-validity photo-digitized passport upon completion of your emergency travel, through passport facilities in the U.S. or U.S. Embassies and Consulates abroad.

The American Citizen Services Unit can normally issue emergency passports the same day, and you can apply during mornings, walk-in business hours at the Consulate (9:00 to 13:00). Unfortunately, emergency passports cannot be issued after-hours, on weekends or holidays.

The Consular Agencies in Spain are not authorized to issue Emergency passports, so additional time will be needed for processing a passport application if you apply at one of the six Consular Agencies in Spain outside of Madrid or Barcelona.

Fees:
First-time and replacement adult passports $97.00
First-time, renewal and replacement minors $82.00
Renewal adults $67.00


The passport fee can be paid cash in U.S. dollars, Euros or by credit card. Personal checks cannot be accepted.
