Passport Application information
New passport applications and passport renewals generally take four weeks. Emergency passport applications can take 24-48 hours to process. If you have a travel emergency, please email ConsularLome@state.gov and follow the instructions provided in the autoresponder email. Emergency passports are not processed on weekends or federal holidays.
Beginning January 1, 2025 U.S. Embassy Lome will begin accepting online fee payments for U.S. passport applications. You will still need to appear in person and schedule an appointment in advance. However, paying in advance of your appointment will reduce the amount of time you need to spend at the Embassy. Qualifying passport applicants may pay the appropriate fee online via U.S. or international credit or debit card or Pay Pal. After successfully paying the fee, you must print out the electronic payment confirmation you receive via email and bring it to the embassy with your application on the day of your appointment. Please select the link that corresponds to your application type below.
