They are definitely trying to make it easy...

Have they started requiring appointments again to apply for a passport? I do remember in the mid-90s trying to apply for my first passport, but was never able to get through on the appointment line (it was always busy during their hours). Finally just went to a post office that had open times, but you had to wait in a long line during the limited hours.

Five years ago, we only had to go during the hours (til 3pm) at our local post office. But we had to go in person, both parents, to renew our daughter's passport. (We took her out of school about an hour early to accomplish this). Will have to do it again this summer, so I'll be checking out the passport website.

Bringing this post thread back up, as this date is getting nearer.
Be sure to mark your claendar if it applies!

Thanks Joey!

There will come a time when everyone who travels will need a passport and they might as well get it now since it's good for 10 years. I want to be ready to leave at a moments notice when those fantastic deals show up!

LuLu, we also always carry our passports in the US when we fly because it is the gold standard for ID. Never a problem at security or check in.
