It seems an appointment is required at all Brooklyn locations.

thank you very much cookies n cream for the information but this will nto help me because most of the time you need to wait a long time for an appointment to be available that is why I would prefer walk in

I know you wrote Boro Park but if you'll be visiting the Catskills this summer take advantage of the post offices there. There is no appointment or wait at those locations. I went on a Friday morning last year (I was visiting for the weekend) to get a passport for my daughter and it was a breeze.

Just a note... Anyway who is thinking about getting a passport should do it before Tuesday because the prices are going up...
