  6. Emergency passports are lifesaving. I needed to go quickly for a family emergency, but my passport had expired. The emergency passport procedure was quick and easy. Thanks to the passport agency's fast service, my emergency passport arrived the same day. Congratulations to the government for identifying the need and expediting assistance. Knowing that we can be there when required, even in unexpected situations, is comforting.
