Passports?

[champagne]

we need them.... I have some questions..

1. Can we apply & pay for them online?
2. If so, how do we get them the passport photo we take?
3. How long do they take to get them?
4. How long are they good for?
5. Do I apply for one with my name I'm going to have (married) at the time of travel? Or do I apply for my maiden name?

Thanks for the help all,....... :sunny:

Here's a link to the U.S. Department of State, which may answer some of your questions:

I'm sure people here can also help from their personal experiences.

1. No, each person must be present when filing, in person, for a passport.

2. Bring it with you

3. You can pay extra for express service. I am not sure how long they are taking now, but for a while it was taking over 3 months.

4. 10 years

5. If this is your honeymoon, you will need to apply in your maiden name as your married name will not be your legal name until you have it changed at the DMV and Social Security.

Hope that helps.

Are you finally getting married or what? :laughing:

Some countries are very strict about any id being correct.
