Where to Begin Your Passport Odyssey
The Los Angeles Passport Agency: This is your first port of call if you need your passport in a hurry. Think of it as the passport equivalent of a superhero – it’s there to save the day when you’re in a bind. But remember, it’s not your average government office. This place is busier than a Kardashian's Instagram feed, so be prepared to wait. Or, if you're lucky, you might bump into a celebrity. Who knows?
The City Clerk's Office: If you're not in a rush, you can also apply for a new passport at the City Clerk's Office. It’s a bit slower-paced than the passport agency, but it might be a good option if you have some time to spare. Plus, you get to experience the thrill of waiting in line with other Angelenos.
