Notice
*Routine adult passport renewals do not require an appointment. For the fastest processing use our mail in service.
We open new online appointments about six weeks in advance and reopen canceled appointments daily. Continue to check our website for availability.
If you are unable to secure a passport appointment online and are travelling in less than three weeks, send an email to acs_sofia@state.gov with a copy of your passport application form, payment confirmation from pay.gov, and your flight itinerary.
The American Citizen Services unit provides appointments for passport services and notary services only.
Scheduling an Appointment for Passport Services and Notary Services
When you book an appointment you will receive a confirmation email with the following:
- The date and time for your appointment.
- The appointment password. You will require the password if you need to cancel the appointment. No record of your password is kept at the Embassy.
We recommend that you bring a printout of the confirmation email on the day of your appointment.
Please ensure that you arrive at the Embassy 15-20 minutes prior to your appointment time to allow time for security check, otherwise we may need to cancel your appointment. You will not be able to enter the Embassy, if you arrive more than 30 minutes . If you arrive more than 30 minutes late, you will be asked to reschedule your appointment.
Read the information on the Embassy website to prepare for your appointment.
To book an appointment, please follow this link. Each applicant requiring a service at the Embassy must have a separate appointment.
Canceling the Appointment
If your plans have changed and you need to postpone or cancel your appointment, that’s no problem. But please let us know immediately by clicking here, selecting “cancel appointment,” and following the instructions that appear on the screen. By alerting us in advance, you’ll allow us to serve someone else in your place.
