Obtaining a Passport
New passports or renewal of old passports
Applications for new passports or renewals should be done far in advance of your departure date. It is possible to expedite it for an extra $60 fee plus overnight postage, although it is best to allow yourselves several months for processing.
These are the basic requirements for passport application. Specifics may vary from one region to the next so be sure to contact your post office directly to find out all details.
Make sure your passport is valid for six months after your travel date. For further info, check here.
