Passport tips?

My birth certificate should be in the safe. I hope the fact that it?s really old doesn?t throw them into a tizzy.

Chiseled in stone, eh?

I think getting your guns into Ireland will be the bigger challenge for sure.

If you're going to need it sometime before the summer, you might want to get started, in case the government shutdown causes big delays.

Thanks. I was planning on getting the card as well. We got one for my wife when she got her passport.

Since the only countries I?ve been to outside of the US are Canada and Mexico it could see use sometime.

Reminds me that I think mine expires this year. If not this, then next year.

We got a passport in 2017 for our 5 month old (He's been to Canada twice now). It's not hard. The biggest secret is the Post Office will take the photo for you. It's the same cost as walgreens, but the guy at the post office will make sure you look good in it.

Poor lighting is the real trick. Although I was informed there is no camera setting for “less fat.”

I got a new passport and it took 2 weeks. I went to the post office, they took photos and verified I had the paperwork done correctly.

I had a prior passport that expired in the 1980s when I was a juvenile. I still had it, brought it along with a copy birth certificate and drivers license. All document are returned in a separate mailing from the passport.

2 weeks from submittal to delivery. No expediting. But that was before the shutdown.

You can expedite but not pay for all the overnight shipping and get it faster for a little more, maybe 4 days longer and save $$$.
