Get an email when a passport appointment slot opens
Passport offices and acceptance facilities often show no appointments for weeks, then add a few when someone cancels or a new block of dates is released. Sold Out Alert watches the scheduling page for the location and dates you can make. It emails you a link when a time shows as open.
What you can watch
- Any appointment at the nearest facility in the next 30 days
- A morning slot at either of two offices within 25 miles
- A weekday time before my trip on the 14th
- A renewal appointment at any location in the county
- Two back-to-back slots so a parent and child can go together
How it works
Paste the link to the scheduling page for your location and say which dates, times and offices would work for you.
Sold Out Alert reads the page once, shows you what it will check, and tells you whether the page can be tracked before you start.
When a matching time appears, you get an email with the link. Open it and book the appointment yourself.
We alert you by email; you book it yourself. Sold Out Alert never logs into your accounts or buys anything for you. Plans start at $9 a month with a 7-day free trial.
Questions
- Is Sold Out Alert an official passport service?
- No. It is a private tool that watches a public scheduling page and emails you. It is not affiliated with any government agency, it does not submit forms, and it never books anything for you. You book the appointment yourself on the official page.
- Why do passport appointments open up suddenly?
- Slots usually come back when someone cancels or reschedules, or when an office releases a new batch of dates. Cancellations can appear at any hour and are often taken within minutes, so there is no guarantee you will get one.
- Can I watch several offices at once?
- Each scheduling page is its own watch, so one watch per office. Describe the dates you can make for each, and each watch counts toward the number your plan allows.
- Will every scheduling page work?
- No. Many scheduling pages block automated checking, and pages that need you to sign in first cannot be watched at all. Sold Out Alert checks the page before you start and tells you whether it can be tracked. Checks run from every 5 minutes on the lowest plan to every 1 minute on the highest.
