Come up here. Thursdays the Westmoreland County courthouse’s prothonotary office is open till 6. They will do the whole thing for you, take the pictures, etc. Of course, it helps if you fill out the forms beforehand.
We got my wife a passport and my daughter a passport card for our trip to Niagara Falls. Only took about 3 weeks to get them back.
yes, i had people in the passport ofc saying oh there’s an ofc in DC etc where there’s no wait. I will take my chances, this place is 2 min from my house.
