Download an application in .PDF format, then open and print it with Adobe's free
Acrobat Reader.
United Kingdom
UK
Passport Service
Britain may be part of the European Community, but British subjects still need a
passport to travel abroad. Also, the Visitor's Passport has been abolished, so
you'll now require a standard 10-year passport to leave the country.
United States
Passports
To be on the safe side, allow a minimum of six weeks to get your passport unless you're
willing to pay an "expedite" fee for two-week service. You can save time by downloading
an application in .PDF format for viewing and printing with Adobe's free Acrobat
Reader.
TIP: If you're an adult with an expired passport, you can save
money by applying for a new passport by mail.
And a word of warning: The State
Department's Passport Services agency now has a help line that you can call with
questions or problems involving your passport application, but it's a 900 number
that costs 35 cents a minute for automated service and $1.05 per minute if you
talk to an operator.
