You can (we did) just walk in. I don't think they'll reschedule you prior to your assigned date, so that wouldn't work anyway.

Just go, hope it's not too busy, explain to the guy checking the papers that you can't make it/will be out of town/etc on the assigned day, and they'll let you through.

We didn't even have to give a reason, though. Just showed up, he looked, and waved us through. Piece of cake.

Hi!

I just got home from my walk-in there. PIECE OF CAKE!!! It took me 5 minutes, with NO waiting time. They didn't even check my appointment date, or asked me anything at all. I went today (Friday) at 3 pm, and there was nobody there. My advice: try it.

Good luck!

Just wanted to update as when I searched for this topic, couldn't find anything recent.

My husband received his appointment in the mail this week for June 14 - he'll be out of town most of June for business. We were also concerned a rescheduled appt time still wouldn't work. After reading the threads here and elsewhere on walk-ins, I told him to chance it and see what happened.

He went this morning, arriving pretty much at 8am opening. He said they let him in with no problem and it went quickly. Hope this works for others in a similar situation!
