One associate needs his first passport, another needs to replace hers and I need to renew mine. The first-time passport must be applied for in person. Application forms are available at any passport agency, post office or through the federal State Department's Web site . You must provide a certified copy of your birth certificate, your Social Security number, current driver's license and two passport photos.
Passport photos are available at many camera shops or copy stores.
A 48-page passport is available for no additional charge, if you plan to travel extensively. Passports can be renewed by mail if your passport was issued less than 12 years ago. For a name change, you must get a form. The address for processing is printed on the back of the application form. Remember that processing of applications takes three to four weeks.
