When I went to Japan, I also needed a Visa...... which comes from the Japanese Consulate. I was going for business trip so rules may have been different.
Better check!

luckily I just happened to have a "how much do passports cost" book right next to me! Hmm, let me see... what page was rushing on again?
:roll:
Do your own dirty work, lazy ass!
dude, shut up
Luckily, his "How to Uselessly Respond to ATOT Posts" book was right by his computer.
heh, rock on
This question is exatly how AT is going to hell. Nobody does their own work anymore; they just come here ask, and sit on their lazy asses until someone answers it. Oh well. Good luck getting your passport on time. Have fun, and don't be frightened when you close the stall door and realize that there's no toilet

i got my passport expedited when i went on a trip to thailand.
i got the form online and went to my local post office. THEY ARE ANAL! i took my picture there (mistake no. 1, it was a ripoff, go do it at kinkos or something) and they wanted the passport fee in a check and the expedite/picture fee in CASH. luckily i had the BF with me to spot me the extra cash i needed.
remember to get your ORIGINAL birth certificate. they will send it back to you. when i expedited mine it took about a week to come back to me. pretty fast.
you can also check to see what other places in your area has a passport acceptance place - the LA federal building wouldn't let me do it, since it was the closest, so i had to go find the post office with a window. they also have very strict hours about the passport acceptance. and don't wait in the post office regular line, just go up to the passport window, or you'll be waiting forever.

then you are going to japan for almost a month, but cant afford a passport if it will cost over $100?

how much is it usually?

$85 for a non-renewed passport.
$55 for a renewed passport.
$60 additional for expediated service.
+2nd day shipping cost.
So can be from $145+shipping to $115+shipping.

Why don't you call the passport office and ask them. They might be able to answer a little better.
I just got my daughter (18 months) her passport. It cost ~$85 and took about 3 weeks

The funny thing here is that it was sent in the regular mail. No signature, no special protection.
I can't take a pair of nail scissors on a plane, but a fully legimate passport is sent in regular mail where it can be intercepted and stolen.
