• Apply in the fall or winter. We're less busy and you'll get your passport faster.

• Apply at least 3 months before you need to travel. This way, you'll have your passport in plenty of time to get visas if you need them for your trip and avoid the $35 expedite fee per application.

• If you qualify, use the mail-in procedure. You wont have to wait on a queue and you'll get your passport in plenty of time for your trip. If you can say "yes" to ALL of the following, you can qualify for the mail-in procedure:

• I can submit my most recent passport.
• I was at least 16 years old when my most recent passport was issued.
• I was issued my most recent passport less than 12 years ago.
• I use the same name as on my most recent passport -OR- I have had my name changed by marriage or court order and can submit proper documentation to reflect my name change.

Pick up a mail-in application (DSP-82) at any of the acceptance facilities.

• If you must apply in person, go to a neighborhood passport acceptance facility. There's probably one within walking distance of your home or office. (See the following list.)
