Questions About How To Get A Passport Online

Paul asks…

Is it faster getting a passport online or or at a passport application location near you?

I have to fly over seas in 3 weeks, what worry's me is how long it would actually take to get my passport. Which way is faster? Please help..

admin answers:

If it's your first time to apply, you will need to apply in person, like in a post office. You can fill out the form online, print it and take it with you along with the required documents.
You can also expedite it like a week. You just need to pay extra.

Linda asks…

What are the pros and cons of getting a passport online instead of going to the post office? I need 1 ASAP!?

I am traveling to Canada in less than 2 weeks and need a passport. The gov website says that it will take three weeks to even expedite it. There are websites that advertise as little as 24 hrs. how is that possible?

admin answers:

Pros - Convenient, fast.
Cons - You don't get to sign it. You may be asked to produce a letter telling why your passport doesn't have your signature.

Where and how do I get my Passport? ONline?

I want to go on an exchange. Im going to eventually. I need a passport and i dont have one. I have no clue where to go what to do and how to do it. Prefferably i would line an online form the i can just print off or fill out and sent it by mail or email.

If this is your first time getting a passport, I recommend after filling out the form, just going to the post office to get it processed. You will need a certified copy of your birth certificate, which they will take when you submit your application, but it will be mailed back to you when you receive your passport. Usually the post office has the ability to take your passport picture also. It took about a month and a half to receive mine.

Nancy asks…

Good online passport site? Rushmypassport.com?

Can anyone that has used this site give some feedback on how the process went, like did it go how they advertised? Or another site that offers passports in 2 weeks or less?

I need a passport quick, my wife is in Germany and is leaving for Iraq next month so i need to get over there and see her before she leaves. Before i use one of these sites I just want to hear from someone that has experience getting a passport online.

admin answers:

I really thought that in the US, the only way to get a passport was to go through the US State Department.

You fill out paperwork, mail it to the State Department in Washington, D.C. ( or carry it in if you live there) and wait for them to mail it back.

The State Department does have an expedited procedure ( that cuts the wait down to 2 weeks) but well - right now -

the claim that they can get you a passport in 24 hours is impossible, at least right now. The State Department will not be open until NEXT Monday morning.
================================

i see mostly good things about them online, but i don't see anyone saying that they tried it and it worked.

Richard asks…

How to I get the cheapest passport the fastest?

Hi and thanks in advance for your replies. I live Vancouver, WA. just across the Columbia River from Portland Oregon. We want to go on a cruise this summer and we need passports. What is the cheapest and fastest way to get a passport?
When I asked at the post office they said 4-6 weeks and a lot more money to get it quicker. Plus we would have to show proof of need, vacation schedule and so on.
Thanks again for your help.

admin answers:

No one has to show proof of need for a passport application. This may only be required if you apply for expedited service through a Regional Passport Office.
You can get your passport book for a fee of $100 within 4-6 weeks. The passport card, which enables land and sea travel to Canada, Mexico or the Caribbean is $45.00. The applications can be made at the main US Post Office or the Downtown Stations Post Office (1211 Daniels St.)
http://www.travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html ..

For a closed-loop cruise to Canada or Mexico with the same U.S. Port of arrival and departure you don't need a passport. Birth certificate and proof of ID (Driver's license or State ID) will suffice.
Cruise-ship companies however recommend to hold a valid passport book in case of an emergency requiring you to terminate the cruise earlier and get back home on a flight.

Thomas asks…

how do i get a biometric photo for a passport renewal?

I live in Bremerton wa, and if anyone knows of a photographer in the area who does biometric photo's I would be very grateful to know who it is

admin answers:

There are a number of guidelines you have to follow in order for your passport picture to be legal: * 2x2 inches in size
* Identical
* Taken within the past 6 months, showing current appearance
* Must be color photos
* Full face, front view with a plain white or off-white background
* Between 1 inch and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of the chin to the top of the head
* Taken in normal street attire
* Uniforms should not be worn in photographs. If wearing headcovering daily for religious or medical reasons include a statement explaining that.
* Do not wear a hat or headgear that obscures the hair or hairline.
* If you normally wear prescription glasses, a hearing device, wig or similar articles, they should be worn for your picture.
* Dark glasses or nonprescription glasses with tinted lenses are not acceptable unless you need them for medical reasons. A medical certificate may be required.

Otherwise, you can go to a AAA, Sears, or a Fedex-Kinkos, they should be able to take the picture for you.

admin answers:

Your best bet is to have your Mum seek the advice from her divorce solicitor/lawyer.
There is a procedure which your Mum must follow before you can obtain a passport.
Good luck.
