Securing a U.S. Passport, especially on short notice, can be a confusing process.  Often times, figuring out where to submit your application, determining what application to use, and deciding when you need to submit your application to ensure that you receive your Passport prior to your travel date can be difficult.  Additionally, changes in the law (see link to the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative Information below) now require those traveling to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda to have a valid U.S. Passport (or Passport Card) to travel.  If you require assistance with your efforts to secure your U.S. Passport, my office is happy to be of assistance to you.
