US Passport

Hi

I just attended my oath and am now American. I need to apply for American passport to travel from Tijuana, Mexico to Mexico City within 2 weeks to visit my client in Mexico. I heard that I can make an appointment with the passport office to get a passport on the same day. Do you think that traveling from Tijuana (the border city of San Diego) allows me to make an appointment and to get a passport?
 
I called the toll-free number (1-877-487-2778) and found that the passport agency needs some documented proof of traveling outside the United States. Such a document includes itineraries, hotel reservations, etc. I explained my situation to the agent and was told that either my airline itineraries or hotel reservation is enough to apply for a passport at the agency. However, I can only make an appointment within 14 days of the departure date.

Thanks
 
Most of the time you will have to prove why you require the passport in 1 day. Proof of your airline ticket or of an emergency situation are all you have to show to get your passport processed. Sometimes this information is not checked, but it is always good to have it on hand.
