U.S. Passports

General Information 

Embassies overseas are no longer authorized to issue regular U.S. passports. All non-emergency passports are now processed in the United States. The Embassy in Quito will accept your passport application and forward it to the U.S. for processing. We usually receive the new passport within 8 calendar days, and you can pick up your new passport at the Embassy.

The Embassy is authorized to issue limited-validity passports in emergencies. Be advised, though, that a lack of planning does not constitute an emergency.
