Not Possible

A passport cannot be issued in time for your travel, unless the passport office can be satisfied on the basis of the application and supporting evidence that immediate travel is required due to the death or serious illness of a family member or for emergency medical treatment of the applicant. 

First-time passport applications cannot be expedited.  It is recommended you submit your application through our Passport Express service which takes 10 working days to process.
