Applying for a passport should be simple enough. Here are the basics for getting it done:

1. Go to
2. Print off application
3. Get your original birth certificate *don’t forget to make a copy*
4. Make a copy of your driver’s license
5. Get two money orders (fees will be at the website above)
6. Optional: take a passport photo at a separate location

Correction on the makeup tip: you can wear makeup but it has to be the amount that you would normally wear.

Bonus tip: Call your bank before your trip to let them know of your travel plans
