Tip Paul If you travel a lot, ask for a passport with extra pages. The extra tra cost is negligible. Some countries, such as China, insist on two blank pages in your passport when you send it in for a visa.

Matt Frick My truck was broken into in US. They got my passport. I reported it stolen to them and they sent me an application I had 3 trips planned last summer back to back. I brought my BC and crossed my fingers. The first time I crossed I was very nervous and started to explain what's up and the guy just waved me through. The next two times I crossed I just handed them by BC and DL and no issues.

Applying for a U.S. passport while outside the United States is a different process from applying for a U.S. passport while inside the United States. Although the application forms, supporting documentation, fees and finished products are the same everywhere, each U.S. embassy and consulate has different procedures for submitting and processing your final documents. Listed below is information you should know when applying for a U.S. passport while outside the United States.

The U.S. State Department has opened an office in downtown San Diego to process applications quickly. Leonel Sanchez /SanDiegoRed.com

San Diego County residents will no longer have to travel to Los Angeles for urgent U.S.-passport services.

The U.S. State Department has opened a passport office in downtown San Diego that will expedite services for U.S. citizens who plan to travel within 14 days or who have a life or death emergency.

The San Diego Passport Agency opened here largely because of its proximity to Mexico and the increase in demand for U.S. passports and passport cards after strict document requirements went into effect in 2009 at U.S. land and sea ports of entries, officials said.

“We realize, for many U.S. citizens in the southern part of the state, crossing the border can be a daily occurrence,” said Under Secretary of State Patrick Kennedy at the formal opening of the agency on Monday. “We want to ensure they experience no delays receiving their travel documents.”

The State Department has opened passport agencies in other border cities in recent years, including in Tucson and El Paso.

The new facilities are being paid with federal stimulus money.

The San Diego Passport Agency, which operates daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., is on the 10th floor of the Columbia Center at 401 West A St., near the America Plaza Trolley Station, and Interstate 5. It has 15 counters to serve customers with urgent travel plans and a lobby that can hold up to 120 customers.

“If you’re traveling within two weeks and need to get your passport quickly, you make an appointment, come in here, pay an expedited fee and we’ll process your passport,” said Rick Saltzman, director of the San Diego Passport Agency. The expedited fee is $60.

About 30 employees staff the 19,000-square-foot facility, including bilingual speakers. The office opened for business two weeks ago and has processed hundreds of applications already, officials said. The office is equipped to process passport books and passport cards.

A U.S. passport book is accepted for travel by air, land and sea. A U.S. passport card is less costly but is only valid for entry into the United States by land or sea from Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean or Bermuda. It is not valid for international air travel.

Local U.S. citizens who do not have an emergency or plan to travel within 14 days may apply through post offices and other application acceptance facilities. To find one near you visit http://www.travel.state.gov/passport/

The fee for an adult passport is $135, for a passport card $55, and both $165.

It normally takes four to six weeks to obtain a passport.

San Diego joins Los Angeles and San Francisco as cities in California with passport agencies. Last year, 1.9 million U.S. citizens obtained passports documents in California.
