I never traveled outside the U.S. Would some one please tell me how to go about getting a passport. My parents and I are going this June to find me a place to live and look for a car. I just need to find some info. on getting passports and plane ticket prices. Thanks,

There should be a passport buro in your state, and you can apply for one there. Also, the post office has the forms for a passport, which you can pick up. Before going to the buro though, get a bunch of passport photos because they will not take your forms without them

The passport centers are regional, and peopl from as far away as Kansas have to go to Houston to apply.

You are much better doing it through the mail. Get the application at the post office, and allow about 5 weeks for it to be processed and come back to you.

Good luck!

You might check at www.state.gov, the US Department of State website. You can download the application for a passport there, and find out where the various federal passport offices (and post offices that handle passport apps, not all do) are.

Check this link for official government passport information:

It has all the info. you will need.

As stated, check with the post office... but do begin the process at least 2 months ahead of time so that you can avoid rush fees. You will need an official copy of your birth certificate... no copies allowed.

We are still looking for the someone to stamp our passports.....I got a little nervous when we had a immigration bust at our apartment complex last week. but I had my school ID around my neck so I just showed that. Its not true that there is only 2 police on the dutch side...there were 5 at this bust alone. AND they had a undercover cop car. I think they got some freaky dekey French people on the second floor. Still don't know why they didn't take them all. We all have to make a mental note here...Next time the Germans or whoever invades France lets not get involved. As there is no i in team there is no nice in French
