serenity1959 67 Posted May 6, 2013 Awesome! I have to get cracking on that -- just got my date, which is August 5th. I have heard it takes about 6 weeks to get it back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olivia23 68 Posted May 10, 2013 So I went and got my passport picture taken and filed my application! In my eyes that makes it official! Yay for moving in a positive direction!!! I won't be able to get mine because even if I do everything online, I still have to go to the post office just to sign the documents in front of someone and they make you set up an appointment with them. Unfortunately their appointments are 3 week wait! Then another 3 to 5 weeks to receive the passport. That will be about 2 months away and I plan on going 1st week of June. I really hope I don't get held up when I leave Mexico. I do have my birth certificate and a couple of photo id's (drivers license work id etc.). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smsgrl2009 30 Posted May 10, 2013 You can expedite your passport and get it in just a few days... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smsgrl2009 30 Posted May 10, 2013 Also, call other post office locations...their appointment dates vary.. dramatically...some may get you in within a day or two..might mean driving a little farther but..worth it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
serenity1959 67 Posted May 10, 2013 And to leave Mexico, you at least have to have PROOF that you have applied for the passport, so please go ahead and do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SuNMooNStaRS816 423 Posted May 10, 2013 Call around every post office is different...another post office may get u in quick. And expediting gets it here rather quickly. And also our courthouse now does passport applications. Go to the passport website and find out where other locations are. They are cracking down on the passports now....

Olivia23 68 Posted May 11, 2013 I've found a passport office that does walk ins. Will be going there next week. I called several post offices and they are all quoting 3 weeks or more before I can even get an appointment! 1 Jenniferkatie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
@RealScoobyDoo 94 Posted May 13, 2013 I got passports for two of my kids and my partner for the cruise we just went on. We applied the first week in March and the passports came in 2 weeks two days. And we did not order them expedited, which usually takes 2 weeks, not a couple of days. One gal leaving with our group April 2 did not have a passport and it did not hold us up getting across the border. Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ginny Coleman 1 Posted May 14, 2013 I'm going through rushmypassport.com. I am finishing all the paperwork today and have to go get my photo taken. I was not aware that you could go, with only having PROOF of application. That's interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
