Doing that gives you a greater chance of your passport application getting rejected. I rather spend the 15 bucks to get it done by the post office.
Don't be ridiculous.

I checked about 4 locations near me and the earliest appointment is Jan 11.
Good heads up, like everything government does. Just like reporting that sales reporting on Amazon for 2020 was report early 2021. And removing simple forms from fed tax and forcing to report as a business.

Why bother with the Passport card? You can just bring your actual passport with you.

Passport Card is just for those very few who don't want to bring their passport for domestic travel, and don't want to bother getting a real id from the state.
Passport card is very useful at land borders, get you thu quicker.

Passport application must be mailed or in person , not online.
Quote from SPARKLER :
By postmark. By appointment, you pay then, usually costs $35 extra though.
You could be correct about the postmark. But I was told that if you complete the form online, you're actually applying on that day and application is already in the system waiting for you to send the current passport and the photo and signature. I checked my completed pdf form against the one my friend did, both had different barcode and number.

It's terrible they made it Dec 27 when 25th is a holiday and every post office closed early on the 24th.

Beautiful. Just renewed my kids passports and submitted everything in person on October 1st. Hadn't heard a word. Last week I reached out and just got first comms that they've now just started processing. Good thing we weren't in a hurry to go anywhere

Why would going by the form make sense? You can send it in 1 year if you wanted to? That would mean you can do it today (12/26)... Postmark doesn't make that much sense either BC you would need to check manually.

A $20 price increase is not going to stop people from getting a passport and traveling to stop the virus spread. LMAO
It's simply inflation.

Many gov workers (paid with your income tax) getting raises. Raises cost money. Taxes will go up too. you're income probably won't go up since businesses are hurting from price hikes everywhere unless you're in an impacted segment

When u print completed form it states mail within 90 days so for me it was like must mail before 03/30/2022 so we can't just wait around for a year

Like someone said, they have to receive the everything by March 30 2022 for everyone who filled out the form this week. If you do this online, you're required to fill in all the required fields before the PDF is generated. For them, it's less prone to mistakes. Also, I compared the barcode with other people's barcode, they are all different. I'm assuming when they scan the barcode, it would have the correct fee with the application, which for me was $110 indicated when the form was completed. I don't think they need to check my post mark because my application is already in the system, just waiting for the photo and the signature and the payment.

I don't know how they are going to check every postmark as there are only two locations for processing them.

Right now getting a passport only makes sense when you travel overseas. For domestic travels only need a Real ID.
