US Photo ID

[ZeeJustin]

My friend has tickets to leave for Dublin a week from today. He has recently turned 18, and has never had a government issued photo ID before.

In order to get a passport, he apparently needs a govt issued photo ID first. That can take up to 60 days.

Anyone know what his options are?

Birth certificate + parents signatures should be able to get him a passport. He'ls probbly have to go and wait at your regional passport office for a few hours to get a passport soon enough for the trip.

This doesn't sound like a same day procedure. Is it?

It can be if they know it is an emergency, you just have to tell them.

I don't know if this is what he meant, but he can get his temps(driver's license learner's permit). Takes maybe two hours if the line is long. Which it will be.

Check the government's passport website, but I'm pretty sure you can get around the photo ID requirement if you have witnesses who will testify that you are who you say you are. Otherwise, talk to Evan.

Where is he? I've used a passport service in Los Angeles that has worked miracles for me before. Let me know if you want the #.

This is probably a good plan. My mom works in county licensing department (which issues passports) so I know more about this topic than I have any reason to.
