Cancel Your Passport Appointment Easily Using DoNotPay

When applying for a US passport for the first time, you will need to visit a local acceptance agency like the post office, public library, clerk, or courtroom, some of which may require an appointment. If you are looking to get expedited passport services, you must make an appointment with a regional passport agency.

However, something may come up before the passport appointment, necessitating that you cancel it. It could be that you feel ill or cannot make it to an in-person appointment at the moment. Figuring out how to cancel your passport appointment can be daunting, but luckily, DoNotPay can help you do it in an easier, faster, and less stressful way with just a click of a few buttons.

When Should You Book a Passport Appointment?

When dealing with passport matters, booking an appointment with a passport agency or acceptance facility is not always necessary. If, for instance, you are renewing your passport, you can just download the form, fill it out and send it via mail accompanied by a recent photo.

The only time you need a passport appointment is:

• When applying for a passport for the first time
• When looking to replace a passport that has been lost, stolen, or damaged
• If you are a child below the age of 16
• If you want expedited passport services

When applying, you should contact your local acceptance facility to know whether it is open and book an appointment. You can book the appointment via call (depending on the facility) or their website.

How Can You Cancel Your Passport Appointment?

Are you having challenges making it to your passport appointment? Don't beat yourself up. You can simply cancel the appointment and book it some other time. The Bureau of Consular Affairs advises that you cancel your passport appointment as soon as possible to allocate the slot to someone else.

You can either cancel your appointment via call or email using the details below:

Here’s a step-by-step guide to canceling your passport appointment on your own:

Via Call

To cancel your passport appointment via call, follow the procedure below:

1. Call the passport center or acceptance facility
2. Explain to them why you want to cancel your appointment
3. Inquire on whether you can reschedule or change your appointment (instead of having to cancel it altogether)
4. Call again to confirm they have canceled your appointment

You should, however, be aware that they will give your slot to someone else, so if you change your mind about canceling it, you will have to schedule the appointment again. Additionally, you cannot transfer your appointment to someone else.

Via Email

When canceling your appointment via email, you will simply follow the procedure below:

1. Forward the appointment email that you received from the National Passport Information Center to NPIC@state.gov
2. Put "cancel my appointment" in subject line
3. Do not include questions on status updates or requests to reschedule or change your appointment, as they will not be answered.

What Are the Potential Challenges After Canceling a Passport Appointment?

The main challenge of canceling your passport appointment is that you might not get another appointment soon. This especially applies to people booking an appointment with the regional passport agency to get expedited services. There is often a long queue of people waiting to get appointment dates, thus making it hard to secure another appointment soon.

It is, therefore, recommendable to reschedule the appointment date if you are not looking to cancel the appointment altogether.
