I got my new U.S. passport! [View all]

My old one was going to expire at the end of February 2026. One cannot travel easily with a passport with less than 6 months viability because many tourist visas are for 6 months.

I applied for an expedited issuance which made the total cost $190. It arrived 2 weeks after submission!

Some parts of our government are working just fine.
