How to get (or renew) a passport by Flutterbyflyby3

"I am going to Scotland!"

How I did it: I finally just went & did it!  I spent a lot of time NOT doing it, but with the proper identification it only took minutes and two weeks!  Applied Dec 12; received Dec. 26!

Lessons & tips: Have your birth certificate
A driver's license/id card
Checkbook - they do not want cash
Ink pen that writes!

Resources: An actual REASON to get it.  It wasn't until I had an actual destination that I got it.

How I did it: I just went to the post office, filled out some forms, and stopped at CVS to get a glamor shot to go in it. Then I just waited for about three weeks and it came in the mail! I think that it encourages me to keep traveling! Read how I did it…

    need to just do it 2 months ago

    I might have the opportunity to take a trip outside the U.S. in January or February 2010. If so, I will need to have my passport renewed before then. But I lost my birth certificate, so I think I will need to get another copy of it first.

    Pissed 7 months ago

    I was so pissed off last night. For whatever reason, I thought my Passport expired in July. I looked at it last night, and it turns out, it expired two weeks ago.

    Pain in my ass.

    No big deal I guess, although I assume the process will be a little more complicated now.
