It's Passport Day, So Go Apply for One Already



I






If you need a passport in a jiffy, you can always go to one of the 25 regional passport agencies http://1.usa.gov/bzU1tI to apply for expedited papers. But it’s an inconvenient ordeal—many of the offices require a weekday appointment http://1.usa.gov/dr2UUQ, proof of plans to travel within the next two weeks, an extra $60 fee, and more paperwork than we care to think about. But today is Passport Day http://1.usa.gov/rqgJuE, which means the feds are going wild and letting people apply on a Saturday sans appointment. You can submit standard passport applications (which deliver your papers within four to six weeks) and expedited applications (which take two to three weeks), plus apply for foreign visas and buy extra blank pages if you have too many stamps already (lucky you). Justcollect your proof of citizenship and identification documents http://1.usa.gov/bNfp7Kfill out the application online http://bit.ly/4pHku6, and expect lines, as this is the only Saturday this year the agencies will open.
