re: Anyone ever done a passport agency appointment?

Just wanted to follow up post-passport appointment in NOLA.

Ended up getting the passport in one day. However, plan to allocate the entire day away from work. Appointment was @9:00AM. Driving from Baton Rouge, expect massive traffic in NOLA. Show up with all the required documents in an organized folder. Wait for ~30 minutes in line at the very DMV-like office. Present documents, get waiting number, wait for another ~30 minutes, get called up, sign forms, pay bill. You'll then be asked to return to the office after 2:30PM. It was too risky to drive back to BR for a couple hours of work. I returned to the office at 2:30PM and was called by the lady at the desk to get my fresh new passport at 3:15PM.

It all happens in one day but, like I said, plan to spend the entire day in NOLA.

Thanks again for all the input. I was as prepared as I could have been. Hopefully this thread helps someone else down the road if searched
