I would go to one that can do photos as well. We went to Walgreens and Walgreens screwed up our pictures, so we had them done on site luckily.

According to the Department of State website, passport apps are business as usual at this time.

it always peeved me that they charge 10+$ for passport photos - the passport website has a tool to help you size your photos, and you can fit six 2x2 photos on a 0.25$ print - use the other 5 for when you apply for your stamps!

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

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

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.

The same place that does finger prints and photos can use your same photos for passports.

Excited that you'll be traveling abroad for the first time ever. Can't wait to hear all about it.

Also, you cannot wear a full face burka in your passport photo.

Thanks for the useful information.


So, I?m currently sporting a beard but chances are I may not when it comes travel time. Hope that doesn?t throw anyone for a loop when my trip comes.

Also, do I put my hair color as brown or gray? I?m kind of in that in between stage at this point in my life.

Those are two good questions, do you put salt & peppa for hair color when you are going grey ? What about women that change their hair color with the seasons ? And beards & facial hair is a good question also ?

I just do whatever my driver's license says so I'll have consistent documents.

We just booked a trip to Spain on Thursday...

That's an 11 on the ambiguity meter.
