Very soon every United States Citizen crossing the Canadian or Mexican border will need a valid United States Passport. If you are traveling by air, you will need this documentation beginning January 23, 2007. If crossing by land or sea (including Ferries) you will need to have a valid US passport as early as January 2008.

So how do you obtain a valid United States Passport? It is pretty easy actually. You need to go in person to one of the 9000 acceptance facilities located throughout the United States. These acceptance facilities include some Federal, State and Probate courts, post offices, Municipal offices and even some local Libraries.

You have located an acceptance facility… now what do you do? Well prior to showing up you must make sure you have the appropriate documentation that you will need to complete the application. This documentation includes two photographs of yourself, proof of United States Citizenship and a valid form of photo identification such as a valid driver’s license. Once you have all the documentation you will go to the facility and fill out an application for the passport.

You can obtain a copy of the application prior to showing up at the facility to speed things up but you MUST NOT sign or date the application prior to visiting the acceptance facility. A copy of the Passport application can be downloaded here.

Congratulations. You now know how to obtain a United States Passport!
