Emergency Passports
If you are a U.S. citizen with an urgent need to travel to the United States, please write to LimaACS@state.gov and include your current passport information, explanation, and evidence of your reason for travel, and a contact phone number. Emergency appointments will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Having purchased airline tickets without a valid passport does not constitute an emergency. Do not purchase a flight ticket until you have a valid passport.
As of February 27, 2022, the U.S. Embassy in Lima is able to receive certain adult passport renewal applications by mail. Currently, the mail-in renewal option is only available at certain DHL drop-off locations in Lima and Arequipa.
