Bring extra cash incase you decides to expedite for sooner travel. Passport is good to have in hand you don't have to re-new for 10yrs. But don't wait for the 6 months rule and not to be able to travel forgetting to re-new. Great informations thank you.

I am applying for the first time ... do we need to go into a government office?

[juanb]

What if you don't have the original birth certificate? I'm sure a lot of older people don't have their original birth certificate

[PrincessfestAsmr]

Will the local post office take your 2x2 photo for you or will I have to do that on my own ?

[motivated]

thank you; very beneficial and to the point.

[jebflynn]

[eddiev]

Do you bring your original birth certificate and copy and for the copy of id can you copy it on one sheet of paper or two separate ? Thank you

[theanswer]

I can’t find my birth certificate, can I still get a passport without it?

[AdamSaifii]

I need to make my us passport I had one but it is expired 20 years ago I think I need to make a new one I was born in US but I dont live in US, what should I take with me to the appointment (physical proofs)

[oliviaedralin]

If you’re naturalized w your certificate, do you still need to bring birth certificate?

[ghostopsrs]

Will they accept a certified copy of the birth certificate?

[sune]

Hey! I just became a U.S Citizen because of military service. On the website it says I have to submit my original Naturalization Certificate but I’m scared it will be lost in transit. Is it possible to send in a notarized copy of the paperwork?

[JayShotThis]

Good video. I know how to get a passport now

[weenazic]
