I’ve never had a passport before. I live in Michigan and frequently travel to Canada, and have never quite needed a passport until now.
In a way I guess it’s pretty cool. Now I’ll have no excuses for not jumping on a plane to Europe whenever I feel. I wonder if I could leave everything here and just start over there from stratch. I need a country with no extrication laws if I want to skip town and stop paying my bills.
I found out in my research that there are six things you need (or need to do) to obtain a passport from the State Department:
- Provide Application for Passport, Form DS-11
- Present Proof of U.S. Citizenship
- Present Proof of Identity
- Provide Two Passport Photos
- Pay the Applicable Fee
- Provide a Social Security Number
Seems pretty straight forward to me. Now I think the hardest part is going to be getting those photos to look the way I need them to look.
