They have places that do this very service for a few hundred dollars I believe. I think the closest one is in Boston

Did this like 10 yrs ago. Took all day but worth it if you need an emergency passport

Yes! When I did it it was necessary to show proof of international travel in the next 14 days. I had to go to Portsmouth NH because the Boston office had no appointments, otherwise pretty painless (except for the extra fee to expedite). They definitely said no walk-ins, and that’s why I skipped Boston to go to Portsmouth, but when I was there in the waiting room, they definitely were taking walk-ins… So maybe they say that just to limit it 🤷‍♂️ Mine was also a renewal versus a new passport, so not sure if that changes things…

Yes, but it's not like you walk in and it's same day. You need a plane ticket booked and then call the passport agency in Boston. They'll book you an appointment within 48 hours of your flight--for me it was same day as my flight. You go there in the morning, give them your info and payment (few hundred), and then come back in the afternoon to pick up passport. The agency is in the MBTA headquarters building. Good luck!

Also they won't do it if you're like "oh I just booked an international vacation for next week". It MUST be for urgent need or an emergency.
