How to get my passport
How I did it: I finally went to get my passport. It was less scary than I thought it
would be. I figured they would be crazy with security, but I just went
to my local post office. When I first when up to the counter the lady
just said “you have the application filled out already?” I looked at
her blankly and said no… so she had to go get the application for me
and I went out to fill it out. You just need your birth certificate, ID
(and a photocopy of the ID to give to them). And make sure you know
your social security number (that’s something I always forget). The
rest is just basic information. I got my photo taken at the post
office. I’m very glad I finally went to get it. The whole thing for me
cost $116 (with photos) but the prices really vary.
