Title: Passports - where to get them, plus the best spots!
Post by: zstyles on June 13, 2012, 02:30:07 PM
Anyone have any tips on the best places to get passports in Tulsa, this post office is faster than this one, etc or can you get a passport anywhere else besides a post office??

Thanks!

I got mine through the county couthouse. You can expedite the process with an additional fee (I think the fee was about $60)

What you need:
1. Passport photo (Mailbox Inc or any place that provides this service)
2. Cashier's Check
3. Birth Certificate
4. Valid government issued ID (Driver's license).
5. Completed Form http://www.travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html (http://www.travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html)

There's a guy behind the Sam's on Sheridan who will sell you one.

Not all post office locations can handle all passport services.

Tulsa Court house.  Strangely, she was very nice and we got them in less than 2 weeks.

Went to Fedex for pics.

Dept of State tells you which post office handles them.  Official agency location to apply....

Got mine at the Bixby Post office. Perfect service for all of the family.

Wait.  That's discriminatory against the poor, the elderly, and the illegals those not born here.

On a serious note, you can get your photos at Walgreens.

You don't have to pay to get a birth certificate, everyone gets one when they pop out. Even President Obama has one.

Actually, if you need a new copy (which most people do after 30 years or so) you will pay.  $15 for the search.
