Passport question

[Triniiphone 3]

I am travelling abroad on July 8th, and my oath ceromony is June 12th, so the question is

if I expedite my passport will I get it on time, or should I do the same day passport service to play it safe?

[Nimaan 27]

Do same day as its the same price..

Do same day as its the same price..

is it really? i thought for same day its like $300?

[Nimaan 27]

Same price.. Passport fee+ expedite fee

Only catch is you have to have proof of travel within 14 days and an appointment

Oh gotcha. Thanks!

I guess I'll just wait till I'm in that 14day time frame and then apply.

Your welcome..depending on the country you are going to and need to obtain a visa to visit that country before you leave, then you can apply 4 weeks in advance at the passport agency.

Also, the correct fees are:

Passport Fee $110

Execution Fee $25

Expedite Fee $60

Don't forget to call and make an appointment, passport pictures, $, filled application (online), certificate of naturalization & state ID.

Was only twelve such service centers, believe they upped that to fifteen. All depends upon where you live and how difficult it is for you to get there. For us, nearest is no-parking zone downtown Chicago with a 700 mile round trip. Would be so much nicer if they moved that to O'Hare where you can actually take a plane someplace. So we planned our traveling accordingly.

We were in no rush in getting my stepdaughter's US passport, actually got far quicker service by not paying that expedient fee. Explain this!
