2. Schedule an Appointment 📅 Find a nearby acceptance facility like a post office to visit for passport processing. Appointments are generally required.

5. Receive and Celebrate! 🎉Once that baby blue booklet arrives, secure their first stamp and get ready for an adventure! Their entire childhood of globetrotting officially begins.
The baby jet-set life awaits! Having a passport opens up a world of experiences for your little one from an early age.
