Trinidad And Tobago Embassy NYC

Terrible, currently sitting here for thr past 4 hours waiting for a passport renewal. Atrocious customer service… I can’t believe it takes so long just to see someone to get some forms approved. I’ve renewed other countries passports before and I was out in less than a hour.

Perhaps the trick is to go early on a winter day. There are no Trinis that are going to go out here on a cold winter day unless they absolutely have to. After putting it off for months, I decided to steel my nerves and go in here an prepare myself for the hrs upon hrs of waiting and unfriendly employees that I usually associate with an embassy office.
Instead I had quite the opposite experience. Everyone I encountered, from the security guard, to the front desk woman, to the interviewer to the photographer, well all friendly and helpful and funny (in ways only other Trinis might understand). I came in at 8am, was out by 9:30, and everything was fine. Nice office too… well kept.

Very Slow! Everything takes forever!
