Hi!

I will have my oath ceremony soon.

And I need passport quickly, is it possible apply a passport after the ceremony with expedited (+$60 fee)?

Passport agency is too far away from where I live.

If is possible, (I know it said 3 weeks door-to-door) how long it took to get the passport ?

Anybody has experience?

Thanks !!!!

do you need to submit the original nat. certificate?

Yes.

There is also a 2014 Passport Tracker at the link below in the Passports, etc. - What to do now that you are a US citizen forum.

My wife got her passport in 13 days (did NOT expedite). The post office told us it would take 4 to 6 weeks, so we were very surprised when it showed up in the mail. Took another 3 days for her Naturalization Certificate to arrive in the mail.

You can also use an expediter. This is a company that you authorize to apply in person for you and can usually turn a passport around in a day or two. You could also apply and then get the aid of your US Congressman's office to help expedite your passport. This can usually get your passport in about three days from what I have read. Though YMMV.

Hey guys. When you apply for your passports, what's the form of payment they take? Check and Money order only? If yes, then should I make a check/moneyorder to "Department of State"? Thx.

Depends on where you apply.

Check Payment Instructions on this link:

http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/passports/information/costs.html#payment_instructions
