I hear it every year. "Man I really want to go to Canada Joe Con, but it's too late to get my passport." There are a lot of us who've run into this issue. So I'm putting out the reminder, that if you want to go this year, and you're in the United States without a passport, here's what you need to do.
Passport Application: DS 11 This is the site to get you started. Make sure you have the proper documents you need to get the passport (birth certificate, social security, etc.) You also need two photos. You can get them really cheap at any Walgreens, CVS, etc. Most importantly DO NOT WAIT. If you get under about three weeks before the con to do this, things get more expensive and you have to pay for $60 expedited service or go to a passport office itself (I've done the latter, not a fun day). The only downside to the passport is the fees. It costs $135 to get a passport book. BUT. If you are only getting this for Canada con and you have no desire to ever leave the states for any other reason, just get a passport card, which is much cheaper at $55. So go out there and get those passports, and quit with the excuses |

REALLY REALLY DO IT EARLY!!
With the government shutdown coming on Friday, one of the things they said that would be affected and would take longer then normal: Passports So you better do it now if you're going to do it.

Also keep in mind that while $135 is a lot, that passport will be good for 10 years.
