Trying to renew passport urgently

Hi all!

 

Has anyone tried to renew their Spanish passport lately?

The earliest appointment I was able to get almost a month ago was for June 6th. I have a wedding in Spain in June 24th, and their turnaround for passports is 3 weeks.

I wanted to see if it's possible to just show up to the consulate in Los Angeles and see if they can process it earlier, but I wanted to ask if anyone has ever done that before, and if it's even worth it to go.

 

Thank you for your help!

the consulate does not answer the phone and I have sent them 4 emails so far. They have very bad reviews mentioning their lack of communication...

Are you Spanish citizen?

Immigration journey is not: fast, for the faint at heart, easy, cheap, for the impatient nor right away. If more than 50% of this applies to you, best get off the bus.

When does your passport expire or has it already expired? 
would you be able to renew it IN Spain while on your trip and then return to US with new passport? Do you have enough time? 
I would also check to see if you’re allowed to enter Spain on an expired passport. Some countries allow this…

That's honestly what I'm going to try to do. It's a long drive, but at this point I'll just have to

My passport is set to expire soon, and my trip to Spain is literally four days. I cannot renew it while in there. 

I am able to enter Spain on an expired passport, the issue is getting back to the States...

Understood… was hoping you had a longer trip planned. 
good luck! And maybe drive to the embassy… hopefully you can get them to help you.

I have to go back for a wedding but I can only use my long weekend, as I will be on duty the rest of the week 

Thank you for your help!
