Just like everyone else, we normally go to the post office or other agency to apply for passport which will cost you $25 - $35 dollar per application.
I just found out that we can apply for passport directly with the US Department of State and do not have to pay that extra fee of $25 - $35 per application. That will quickly add up for a family of 5 like us

What do you do with the $$$ you save?
