I just made an appointment at the passport place to get a passport card. They gave me an appointment for December 28th. I really don't want to wait until 3 days before I'm supposed to leave to get my passport card.

My question is, is there any reason they tell you to make an appointment if it's 2 weeks or less until the time you leave?

Can I just do a walk in next week, and still get my card in time to leave?

Anybody?

Exactly what "passport place" did you go to?

I didn't go to one, I scheduled and appointment for the Chicago one.

Don't waste your money on a card. Get real passport.

Yeah, they gunna charge you like crazy for that thing. My mom called up because she wanted to go but they told her it would cost around $400 when all set and done, for a card!

That's kind of BS if you ask me... Maybe she called a diff one I don't know.

Uh it's $45.

Might as well invest the extra hundred. Passports are pretty cheap and good for 10 years.

Which place are you going to? I want to give it to her so she can go there.

You sure its $45 after their rush fee, the gov. rush fee, the state fee and fed fee?

They give it to you on site, how is there a rush fee?

You are right, it is probably a super rush fee.

I hope not. That would suck, and I would be stuck in Sycamore.
