*No help* to a Canadian in distress. I was 10 min. late (two crash delays on the long drive); they could have taken doc.s and fees, worked on it next day. They would not receive - not even the declaration of lost/stolen passport! That left a valid travel document at 4 days' risk of abuse until I could get to the Consulate in L.A. Luckily, folks there were splendid.

Much at S.F. Consulate was a big hassle, but casually ignoring an at-risk passport is to me a severe neglect of duty in today's security-tense world.
