Where do I get a passport in Htown?

Go to the Customs building downtown, I'm not sure exactly what street it's on. You do need to bring your own picture from what I remember.

 

I thought it was the Mickey Leland Federal Building?

That's where I went to get mine about 10 years ago... I hope you don't need this right away... although for a fee I believe they can expedite it. I believe it takes at least two weeks. Be sure to have already taken your passport photos and be ready to stand in line.

They may even have forms online... good luck.

Where are you going???

 

some u.s. post offices do passports, and you they can take your picture for you

 

there's a few post offices around town with passport offices in them. i went to one at BW8 near 290.
but they charge a $30 fee
adults are $65 +$60 if you want it expedited (2 weeks vs 6 weeks)

children are $40

get your pics at walgreens. it's about half what you would pay there

if it's just a renewal i think you can do it by mail. you have to send your old one in with new pics of you.

 

Who are you? Jason Bourne? Do you really need a passport if you aren't going anywhere?

 

no, they have to be printed on special paper so that the passport laminate will work.

 

it's like $8 at walgreens vs. $15 at the post office

 

haha... Office Depot.

I believe the photo paper has to be able to hold up to the heat of the laminate and no, it's not 'money paper'....

 

here ya go, make your own passport photos! Better have a hi-res camera!

No way, those prices are way outrageous. Go to your local Walgreens. It's $7.99 for 2 pictures. Takes 10 minutes. They also do I.N.S. photos as well.

 

Go to the Mickey Leland Federal Building downtown. It is actually one of only 5 or 6 locations in the US where the physical making of the passports takes place (ie the other branch locations have theirs made here in Houston). If you catch them on the right day when they're making them, you could potentially get it done in 1 day. In fact, I got my passport in 4 hours back about 6 years ago when I first had it done.

The pictures can be done wherever- Kinkos, walgreens, etc.

 

Well, then by all means, you'll need to post those digital passport photos once their taken. Shoot, email them to me, I'll host them! LOL

 

someone told me you have to make an appointment before going there now
