We tried this once and several were rejected.<\/li><li>Walgreens and CVS take photos for about $14 for 2 photos (per person).<\/li><li>Costco Charges around $6.<\/li><li>AAA Premier Members offers free passport photos.<\/li><li>Some Post Offices will provide passport photos for $15.<\/li><li>Many Target, Sams, Rite Aid, FedEx, and UPS stores also take passport photos.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_1990.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_1990.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_1990.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_1990.jpg?resize=560%2C747&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_1990.jpg?resize=80%2C107&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_1990.jpg?resize=600%2C800&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_1990.jpg?w=1780&amp;ssl=1 1780w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/IMG_1990.jpg?w=2670&amp;ssl=1 2670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step Two: Print &amp; Fill Out the Online Passport Application (one for each child)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/pptform.state.gov\/?Submit2=Complete+Online+%26+Print&amp;AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1\">Online Passport Application<\/a> \u2014 There are 22 questions on 2 pages.

Acceptable IDs or documents include an undamaged passport or a valid driver&#8217;s license. Typically the office will photocopy this for you but you can also photocopy it yourself onto plain white paper that is 8 1\/2 x 11&#8243; in size. Images can only be on one side of the paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Photocopy of identification documents for special circumstances (see other <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.us-passport-service-guide.com\/child-passport.html#photocopyofid\"><strong>special circumstances here<\/strong><\/a><strong>):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the minor has only one parent\/guardian evidence, you must submit evidence of sole authority. This can be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>U.S. or foreign birth certificate, Consular Report of Birth Abroad, or adoption decree, listing only the applying parent<\/li><li>Court order granting sole legal custody to the applying parent (unless child&#8217;s travel is restricted by that order)<\/li><li>Court order specifically permitting applying parent&#8217;s travel with the child<\/li><li>Judicial declaration of incompetence of the non-applying parent<\/li><li>Death certificate of the non-applying parent<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step Four: Make an appointment at your local post office that processes passports (you can do this online) or at a passport office.<br><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contact the nearest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.us-passport-service-guide.com\/us-passport-office.html\">application acceptance facility<\/a>. Most of them are located in post offices \u2014 but not all post offices are passport facilities. <strong><em>Call or look online to schedule an appointment time<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 some post offices have very specific passport application days and hours. Also, some don&#8217;t take appointments and you have to wait in line during specific hours. If possible, schedule an appointment!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step Five: Determine Fees Required (&amp; Bring a Checkbook)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need to pay the child passport fees that average around $135 per child. There is an application fee ($85) and an execution fee ($35). The first is paid to the Department of State and the second to the attending agent. The application fee must be paid with a check or money order. The execution fee can be paid with a credit card.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step Six: Head to The Passport Application Acceptance Office With Everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bring your passport photo, your completed and printed online passport application, all of your required documents, a checkbook, both parents (unless special circumstances) and any kids getting a passport to the appointment! Expect the appointment to last 30 minutes to an hour. Bring books, small games or activities for the kids to stay occupied while waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, what are you waiting for? Get those passports and show your kids the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/index.php\/2018\/11\/09\/10-ways-we-save-for-travel-as-a-family\/\">ways we budget for family travel<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/index.php\/2019\/01\/31\/for-the-love-of-travel-how-to-help-your-kids-find-their-own-wanderlust\/\">how to help your kids find their wanderlust<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a href=\"https:\/\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Kids-Passport-Printable.pdf\">Kids Passport Printable<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Kids-Passport-Printable.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"791\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Passport-v3-3-pdf.jpg?resize=791%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2824\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"735\" height=\"1102\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Flora-Fauna-2.png?fit=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Flora-Fauna-2.png?w=735&amp;ssl=1 735w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Flora-Fauna-2.png?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Flora-Fauna-2.png?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Flora-Fauna-2.png?resize=560%2C840&amp;ssl=1 560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Flora-Fauna-2.png?resize=80%2C120&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/thewanderingrumpus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Flora-Fauna-2.png?resize=600%2C900&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We recently took our girls to &#8220;renew&#8221; their passports and I was reminded of how tricky and involved this process can be.
