Anyone recently apply for passport?

Go to your local post office, pick up an app, and then schedule an appointment for them to help you through it.
All you have to do is go through the app and fill out your information. They can take the photo there and complete whatever else they need.
Make sure you have your birth certificate and your ID. Social security card won't suffice. I found that out the hard way.
I got mine in about 2 and a half weeks. Surprisingly it was stupid simple.

Where are you going? Reason I ask is you can get a passcard too if you're staying in North America. That's what the Wife and Kids did for their trip in to Canaidaland a few months ago. Unless you're going to Europe or something, you don't need a full passport.
We did it much like above. Photo at Walgreens, filled out the app, went to the Kane County Judicial center, paid our monies and a couple weeks later their passcards arrived.

How often are you going to need this? I did the passport back in the day when the wife and I got married and were going to Messyco. I've never used it since (and obviously they expired, which is why she had to go do hers again to go to Canada).
So if you're not going to do it often, if at all again, save some cash.

I'm aware of what you can get as we've had to do it for both our kids (for various reasons) and the Wife (since she never got hers handed down to her), but I'm not carrying that around with me in my travels. I'll carry a little pass-card or a passport book.
All our important papers (My original Birth Certificate and our kids original and certified copies from DuPage County, and my Wife's from Monroe County NY), are all at home in the safe.

He's IN probably a farm birth. Certificate says "birthdate: spring time, 3 moons after corn planting'
Because carrying around a fragile, 8.5 x 11 piece of paper that says I was born in medieval times isn't very convienent and it is a pretty important piece of paper. Not to mention, it doesn't have any current address/proof of residency on it.
Do you carry your marriage certificate around with you also on your international travels?
I can just see it now as he travels into Windsor, ON;
Customs: Identification please
b4black: Hold on, let me break out my certified birth certficate out of file folder here...
Customs: You don't just have a simple fucking passport!
Hey!
I just got one. Went into the Post Office. Filled out an application. I had to give them my birth certificate too. They also Took my picture there. It cost around 160. It Took about 3 weeks in the mail. And they sent my birth certificate back in a separate envelope.
Forgot to mention. You have to first make an appointment too. I did that on the USPS website
