why'd you ask ???

Gov. doesn't do anything that quick...

I meant like when applying for it, sitting down with the agent, is that a long process

no you fill out a form and they take your picture.

takes less than five minutes.

they need your birth certificate and send it back to you

don't make travel any easier as homeland security harasses the fuk out of you when you reenter the country

The agent part itself is pretty quick.

The part where you have to wait until August to visit this awesome place: yah, that's gonna take FOREVER!

yeah definitely get the passport. Very easy to do. You can rush it to get it to you within 3 weeks I believe.

**chilidog** · 02-23-11, 06:18 PM

I did a rush on mine back in 2004, and had it in 3 days.

**opie1988** · 02-23-11, 06:22 PM

I decided to take our daughter with us on vacation to Cabo last year the day before we left. Drove into Dallas and was able to pay for a rush and left the federal office with her passport in hand. Very easy.

No reason to possibly do this with the bash so far away.....but its a good tip if someone decides to go last minute.

Chilidog.....I absolutely cannot wait. Going to start training soon to get my tolerance up in all debaucherous activities!!

I got my passport and passport card last year. Grab the card. I think it was only $70 and you could use it going through Canada, the Carribean and Mexico.

**Iwinyourmoney** · 02-23-11, 06:48 PM

Don't need the card, only book. Card is only good for driving not flying.
Made my appointment for Friday, already filled out forms.
Gov website says 4-6 weeks standard service. Paying 12$ for overnight shipping so it won't get lost.
$150 all said and done. Can't wait for the bash!!!
