How to get a passport
It made me
pleased
 "Just a few papers, 2 photos and money."
How I did it: I got my first passport when I was 15. Since then I've only had to renew my passport. I just followed the directions on the form. I filled in the application. Got my photos taken. Brought the money, proof of citizenship and ID. Lessons & tips: A tip I can give about getting a US passport is that you can take your own passport photo (or have a family member or friend take it for you). I've been doing this for about 20 years for my whole family. True, they aren't professional photos, but I don't require fancy photos for my passport. Just follow the guidelines for size. Get the photos printed as double copies. Then cut to size.

How I did it: First thing I did, was to get the passport photos taken. They do NOT have to be taken at the post office. Fill out the paper work, put the packet together, get the money order, and send it off!! Then comes the waiting. It takes a few weeks for the passport to come back. Read how I did it…

Estimated Completion Time:
- December 31, 2009
- Unless the people who send it to me are just very slow, there should be no real excuse for me not to have a passport by then. I’ve already ordered my birth certificate which was my first step (=

Procedure

Well I didn’t know this at all so I had to run here and there.
After you submit your application to the passport office. The passport office sends you application to local police station for verification.
The police hawaldar who does verification will ask you for a xerox copy of set of supporting certificates which u submitted to passport office. The hawaldar is then suppose to submit it to CID.
CID prepares a report of some kind (I dunno) and forwards it to passport office stating it valid or invalid and then You see you status on site.CID/Passport office will not send back your document to hawaldar for same session(This info I got from some arbit policeman in passport office while on my quest for passport so recheck)
The police might try to ask for a bribe…but I guess they are suppose to forward the documents to CID in a month so if you dont pay him …still he will have to submit teh documents.
TRY NOT TO PAY MONEY AS FAR AS POSSIBLE ..STOP CORRUPTION IN INDIA

not only for my travel dreams and career goals, but because three of my dearest friends live in other countries. There are several businesses within walking distance which offer passport services, but I think I will look into taking my own photo and filling out applications online, if I can. Anything to minimize the costs…
