How I did it: I found out I was leaving for Italy only a few weeks ahead of time and so I had to do this a bit rushed, which meant paying an extra $60 for expedited service and another $30 for overnight shipping both ways, but I got it in 12 days!

Lessons & tips:

• fill out application ahead of time, make an appt., get your pictures at walgreens or some other place that does them.
• if you need them rushed you'll have to pay for expedited service, plus overnight shipping both ways, so do it ahead of time if possible.
