How do I get a passport?
Here in Lawrence you need to go to the main Post Office at 7th and Vermont. Head to the office directly across from the glass doors you walk in through (right next to the head of the line).
You need to bring proof of U.S. citizenship (birth certificate, certificate of naturalization, etc), proof of identity (drivers license, etc.), two passport photos which you can have taken for under $10 at Kinko's, Office Depot, most travel agencies, and lots of other places.
Bring your check book because you need to pay a $55 passport processing fee plus a $30 application fee.
Allow 6 to 8 weeks to receive your oassport.
For more information about getting a U.S. passport, visit travel.state.gov/passport_easy.html
