22 From the Embassies US Embassy ASK ACS Current Status of Passport Applications

Because of public health measures, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 the US Department of State began limiting its passport operations as of March 20, 2020. If you have previously applied for a passport or citizenship service, you should expect significant delays receiving your passport or your citizenship evidence documents. Contact your nearest embassy or consulate to check on the status of your passport

or citizenship document, such as a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA). Please consider waiting to apply until we resume normal operations. In an emergency, our embassies/consulates can assist with an emergency passport for an adult or a minor. If you have not received your Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA), an emergency passport may be issued by your nearest embassy/consulate.

We encourage you to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive the latest updates, as well as the days and hours of American Citizen Services, and possible evacuation plans.
