Got my passport in the mail! Never had one before, but the girl I was dating wanted us to take a trip so I promised I would get one over the holidays. Made an appointment that I managed to keep despite being horribly depressed after the breakup, and now almost a month later I have a passport!
Also they took my birth certificate when I got the passport and told me I'd get it back... but it wasn't in the mail with the passport. Is that normal?
