My friend is supposed to leave for France this weekend but her passport has been misplaced. Is it possible to have a copy or temporary one made up somewhere before then? If her old one has expired can the new one be brought up to date also?

 

She is SOL as far as I know. You can't just 'update' and expired passport. You need to re-apply. I think it take 10 days to get it. Not sure if they have some kind of replacement service available though.

 

costs more money but they can do a 3 day service. and there is an overnight service, but i can't imagine the amount. money makes it happen. make sure you got all your paperwork in order cause if you dont it'll be a no. also hit it first thing in the morn.
i went for the 3 day. did it on a wed and got it by friday. but i was first one in line on wed.

 

See if there is a passport office around, I went to one here in calgary when i was going to Vegas and i had a new one within 48 hours.
