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.

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.

The appointments are so backed up where I live. I had no choice but to do a walk in at one location that was the only one available within a 50 mile radius. When I got there the line was all the way out the door. Literally. I sat in line for 6+ hours. While in line I was talking to the people in line and they informed how they had appointments at different locations but they canceled on them smh. But thank you for all the information. This helped me so much. The guy at the window was happy how I came prepared. I took my photo at walgreens. I paid $649 for me, my wife, and my 9 year old son. I was able to pay for everything with a debit card. I got expedited for all three of us with standard shipping. But the expedited is 5 to 7 weeks.

@@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.

True but there's no substitute for experiencing a foreign country. You can also visit destinations like Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam or Samoa without a passport. It's also easier to travel to Mexico and Canada. You can get a passport card to visit those countries by land or sea for much cheaper than a passport book

Your mind will change once you start traveling abroad. Europe alone has completely different cultures, and languages all within hour or two drive. I agree this country is big and diverse. I do wish train travel was more accessible/cheaper. Have a good day!

I was born in the US. Just applied for my first passport ever and choose standard delivery since I am not traveling until May 2022. The whole process was fast. I had everything filled out. Some post offices will also do the photo for you for $15. Mine did and i choose to do it there. I just choose the small book as I dont do a lot of international travel. Just have a trip I have been dreaming of and needed one.

Was skeptical because of the reviews but I got my Texas fake in about 3 weeks. It came quadruple packaged and was tucked inside of a wallet. As far as I can tell it looks great. Micro-printing is spot on and it passes the bend test. Am so happy just got a passport and i use it to travel with out any problem thanks +1 402 782 1269

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.

It should be noted that many passport centers, including post offices, can also do the photos as well, you just need to select the photo option when booking your appointment. In these days of Covid skipping going to someplace else to get the photos first might make it worth it to do everything at once.
