I applied it for mines last week. I just needed to sign some papers from the courthouse, get a photo from CVS for a passport, my birth certificate, photo ID or driver license and have two separate money orders or check, they won't let you use cash or debit card. I'm from Alabama so have to wait either 8-13 weeks or the expedited one that is 60 dollars more that is 5-7 weeks. Of course I chose the 5-7 week because I'm going out the country in August.

@@davisdillingham2059 Hi Davis - Going to make a quick video on this today. Since first time passports have to be applied for in person, it's a little hard right now. While you can still apply (if you can even find a post office that is accepting applications - many are not), Department of State is recommending waiting unless you need to travel for emergency reasons. So I'd wait a few weeks and then check again.

Just so people are aware: The cost of the passport has gone up since this video as has the forecasted wait time. It’s currently $130 for the book, $30 for the optional card, plus $35 acceptance fee. The $35 goes to the place you go to in person to, the remaining fees go to the U.S. State Department. Also, the current wait time is forecast as 8-11 weeks, but they are currently running about 8 weeks, if not a little less. I fully recommend getting the card if you have not upgraded your state ID to Real ID standards. The card is Real ID compliant for when the new ID requirements for domestic air travel and government buildings finally kick in next year.

I got my passport in 2 weeks. I applied for my child supposedly expedited but it’s still being processed as of today. Lesson learned: even when they tell you that you can apply simultaneously with your child, don’t do it if you do not have the certificate of citizenship. It will save you the hassle of worrying for what they need. It should have been a straightforward application but I guess that they love to complicate things just like US politics.

also worth knowing about the bureaucracy that you can not renew passport for any minors and both parents need to be present at the application process… not mention that cost twice as much as the regular one because it is only for five years not for ten!

@@marianbolis2337 I would have just done the regular process and not the expedited one. So my advice for those that do not have the certificate of citizenship is just to file using the regular process because it will still be slowed down when they ask for more documentation. Use the expedited process only if you are sending the certificate of citizenship unless you are willing to fork the money over regardless of the speed and outcome.

Great info! Thanks so much. You should add that these rules also apply for adults whose last passport was issued when they were under 16 years of age. As far as the government is concerned, you have to apply for a new passport. For proof of citizenship, however, you can use the old passport.

Thank you for this and other informative videos. I got naturalized in May 2021 and applied for passport and passport card on expedited service Oct 22. I mentioned I intended to travel in 8 weeks. It got approved/issued/printed on Nov 19 and delivered on Nov 25. I still haven't got my Passport Card and Original Natrualization Cert but they must be on the way in separate mails. The only negative is the their status page. I gave my email and phone number for notifications on status changes but got nothing at any stage. I had to fill the status page every time and track status. It only had 3 status changes - accepted, processing, approved. Even USCIS tracking system is way better, detailed and used to send me text/email messages. Also, it would be nice if they gave USPS tracking details once approved. Thanks again for helping other immigrants and citizens.
