    Wait…they got a US passport? By claiming…they’re not a citizen?

    I…somehow don’t believe it.

      They also got it in one day instead of the month and a half it really takes. And picked it up at the post office instead of receiving it in mail. And it was processed by the local post office instead of the State Department. I think you have good reason not to believe it.

        There is a regional passport office in Seattle where you can get a passport in one day. I think there are certain conditions like the other user said.

        I drove my friend into the city to do this when their passport application got fucked up in processing and they were traveling abroad that week. My friend is from a nearby state and apparently Seattle is like the only place you can do it on the west coast or something?

        This is the one part, that in a vacuum, is plausible.

        There is way to get a passport same day, but it’s a gamble. You have to book an appointment and have a trip coming up like no longer than a week from that appointment.

        I forget what it’s called, but I’ve done it.

          I did manage to get my passport expedited because my dog chewed mine up (I know) and I had a trip in a couple weeks.
