Americans have passports?

I was in the pilot for this last year. It was a nice and easy experience. No post office trip and done within 3 weeks without having to pay any rush fees.

I gave up on this method because the system rejected every single photo attempt, even though I met all the requirements.

Ended up going to AAA for the photo and 10 minutes later at my local USPS my application was done.

I quite honestly spent less time doing it the old fashioned way than I’d spent trying the new online method.

Eventually I think this will be a useful method, but right now it was a real PITA for me.
