Well at the ripe young age of 50 I have decided to get a passport. I have to go to Mexico 2-3 times a year for work and useing a birth certificate to cross the border is coming to an end. Plus I'm planning a trip to Germany in the future. Anyway doing a limited internet search it appears all the processing can be done at the post office? Looks like there is a form/forms to fill out, present a few pieces of I.D.,get a picture and give them some cash

Then 4-8 weeks later you get the passport? Is that about it? Or a better place to go to get one? No hidden skeletons in my closet so I assume there will be no problems
