Getting a Valid U.S. Passport

I'm currently clamoring to get my passport by the April 16th application deadline for the Ministry of Education grant. Unfortunately, passport processing times are high right now "due to high volume." Even expedited service will take 3 to 4 weeks.

It's also a lot more expensive that I figured. $97 for adults, plus $60 for expedited service. Anyhow, I'm heading down to the post office today with the necessary forms, my birth certificate, and 2 photos. Hopefully it won't take long. The best source for figuring out how to go about getting a passport is the U.S. Department of State. They offer a detailed page on passports with info on locations and documentation requirements.
