Need A Passport Now? Web Can Untangle That Dilemma.(INTERNET & TECHNOLOGY)(COMPUTERS MADE PLAIN)
Byline: Julie Mitchell
My husband and I were planning a brief getaway -- three days in Vancouver, British Columbia -- without the kids.
In making the arrangements, my husband casually mentioned that I might need to update my passport (he travels frequently on business, so his was fine).
He was right. Not only had mine expired long ago, but I also had married and changed my name since acquiring the old passport in 1988.

Thus I entered the nightmarish, bureaucratic world of passport applications. Multiple forms, documents and checks are required, and the average wait to get a new passport by mail is six weeks.
Yikes! Our trip was in four weeks.
