Answer 1

To get a best photos go to FedEx Kinko's for your passport photos, if you don't like it, they can take another one. Then go to http://www.travel.state.gov/ and download and fill out an application, but don't sign it yet. You'll need proof of U.S. citizenship (birth certificate), and exact fee of $97.00. Take it to the passport agency found in http://www.travel.state.gov/ , it will give you all passport agencies in your area, just click on "where to apply for a passport" . Some agency will accept application by appointment only, call first before you go.

The passport application fee is $67. The execution fee is $30. The total is $97 .

Expedited Service - Add $60 for each application

Not all post offices are passport acceptance facilities. here is link to find the closest post office to you, using your zip code, that accepts passport applications
http://iafdb.travel.state.gov/

For a first-time passport for someone at least 16 y.o. you need to:

- bring completed application "form DS-11." Here is link to fill it out online
https://pptform.state.gov/(t3fdire53dvajo55uogxke55)/DS11/MainDS11.aspx

- bring two passport photos that meet requirements, for requirements see this link
http://travel.state.gov/passport/guide/composition/composition_874.html

- if you were born in the U.S. bring your state-certified copy of your birth certificate. If not, then bring your Consular Report of Birth Abroad or your Naturalization Certificate.

- bring a government-issued photo ID, like driver's license (if you have a Naturalization Certificate, then photo ID is not necessary)

- if your birth certificate was recently ordered, you should bring supplemental documentation to support your identity

- bring an international travel itinerary. you can print one from the internet using travelocity, expedia, or whatever

-bring a personal check or buy a money order for the passport agency fee of $67 payable to U.S. Department of State

- prepare to pay the post office their fee of $30, form of payment depends on post office.

- if you need the passport mailed back to you in 4-8 weeks, pay extra $60 (personal check or money order) for expedited processing

-IF YOU NEED THE PASSPORT IN LESS THAN FOUR WEEKS, DO NOT GO THROUGH POST OFFICE. USE AN COMPANY THAT SPECIALIZES IN GETTING RUSH PASSPORTS

they have a certain line in the post office. Make sure that u have like 150 dollars and your birth cirtificate when u go to get it and probably some other stuff but i can't remember. If u don't have everything required to get ur passport then u will have to come back. Make sure u wear a plain polo shirt or something with out brand names on it or you will regret your photo. (I hate mine)
