In this video, I'm going to guide you through the process of applying for a US passport for the first time, including tips for those who have recently become US citizens. I'll cover everything from filling out the DS-11 form using the Department of State's online tool, to choosing the right passport options and services for your needs. I'll help you understand the difference between a passport book and a passport card, the importance of selecting a large book if you anticipate a lot of international travel, and the steps for expedited services if you're in a hurry.
I'll also walk you through scheduling your appointment at a passport acceptance facility or agency, preparing your supporting documents, and what to expect during your appointment. Plus, I'll share tips on what to do once you receive your passport, like signing it, making copies of the identification page, and investing in a cover for protection.
For those in urgent situations, I'll discuss how you can potentially get your passport in under 24 hours for life-or-death emergencies or by finding last-minute appointments at passport agencies. This truly is the ultimate step-by-step guide to applying for your first US passport!

    It can take up to several weeks for that document to arrive. Department of State uses first class mail with no tracking to send out documents. You could also call the department of state as well as USPS to see where it is but the latter might not be of much help.

    Yes your son can derive your citizenship and get a US Passport. You will need these things below. Foreign Birth certificate + authorized translation (if not in English) Child's green card or Foreign Passport + I-551 Your Naturalization certificate Proof of the child living in the US under the care of the US citizen Parent(s) Signed and Notarized DS-3053 if the other parent cannot make it to the appointment. Hope this helps.

    $160 for both Passport book and card. Since you are doing Emergency travel you will need to add another $60 for expedited processing so $220 or 239.53 if you need it with 1-2 day shipping. Though emergency travel can get you same day service. If you are applying at an agency you do not have to use a check or money order as they do take cards there.
