By the way, that’s the cost to send one piece of paper from the US to the UK. Unfortunately, I need to send it quickly and that’s the quickest I can get it there with the reasonable options I have available to me.

    I feel like this is what fax is for. Maybe I’m mistaken. Send it by fax and then send it by snail mail.

      They need the original documents and the USPS is slower. Wouldn’t it be nice if they had some kind of “embassy” or “consulate” that you could just send all these documents to in the US and get a passport? Alas.

        Yeah. I made my comment before I looked at the rest of the comments and got more context. But in theory you should be able to do that at an embassy. So I dunno.

          In theory, but not any more apparently. Only emergency travel documents, not official passports.

            That’s just fucked up. This country sucks.
