Local Notes for Los Angeles — Not a State Department Schedule
- ✓Notice the early 7:00 AM – 2:00 PM PT operating window: afternoon pickup finishes promptly by 2:00 PM PT, so do not arrive late for will-call.
- ✓If Los Angeles has zero appointments, check the San Diego Passport Agency (401 B St, Suite 1000) before booking an out-of-state flight.
- ✓Ensure your 2x2 photo has a pure matte white background and was taken within the last 6 months—adjudicators reject reusing the photo from your expiring passport.
