Question:
Can anyone tell me how a USC living
in the US goes about getting a passport
?? ie which Department etc is application
made through.
Answer:
Department of state: http://travel.state.gov/passport_services.html
Easiest way in the world to do it
if you have about 14 days to spare
before traveling is to walk into
your local post office, pick up
the one page application, bring
a copy of your birth certificate
to prove you are a USC, complete
the application, write the check
and either put it in the mail or
if there is a passport window at
your post office (some of the larger
ones have this) drop it off.

You must apply in person for your
first passport, or if you previous
passport was valid for less than
10 years or issued more than 15
years ago. You need to show state
photo ID, give birth certificate
(they will mail it back to your
with your passport), and maybe social
security card also.
You need to
submit two passport photos also,
and the required fee for a first-time
passport. Most main post office
branches have passport applications
and do application acceptance. County,
state, and federal courthouses probably
have an acceptance office also.
Look in your phone book, under the
government pages.
