    Default Passport tips?

    Going to be getting my passport for the first time.

    Any special tips or advice or is it pretty cut and dry?

    If you don’t need it asap then just follow the normal steps. There are different procedures to take if you need one expedited.

    If you need it expedited, let me know I gotta guy, he has been doing passport and visas for 30-40 years. I use him either way, he makes it super easy. Cost more but he knows his stuff.

    They're not going to have it back in 3 days.

    On a serious note, better apply sooner than later. Who knows what if any effect the shutdown will have, on turn around time.

    Can be done, but it's a PITA.


    Bottom line, I would just follow the normal procedure.

    Walgreens can do Passport photos, and they are usually a little cheaper.

    Definitely apply sooner rather than later.

    That said, I was able to obtain a passport inside of 2 days once (may have even been same day, don't recall exactly), so it can be done quickly in some cases.

    Also, better off getting the thick version IMO, even if you don't expect to need it.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...

    Ha! Well I meant we booked our trip on last Thursday for the middle of August.

    Yeah, I?m looking to take a trip later in the year. Maybe Scotland and Ireland or something. Figured if I get the passport thing squared away first before booking something that would be the way to go.
