3. Bring plenty of copies of your documents, in case one is lost or damaged during processing. In addition, bring anything that might help explain your situation (such as letters from employers).<\/p>\n
4. Do not leave valuable possessions such as passports or driver’s licenses inside vehicles while they are being serviced; they may end up being stolen while you are away from home.<\/p>\n
5. If you are applying for a new passport, remember to bring all necessary application materials with you when you visit the consulate or embassy\u2014including your Social Security card and photo identification (i.e., passport photo). You will also need to pay the applicable fees in cash or by credit card (no checks).<\/p>\n
