Cuz it takes like a few weeks to process and get your passport and documents back…

If the government wanted to, theoretically, they could “accidentally lose” the documents…

    Isn’t it an option to apply in person at a post office? Does your physical proof (birth or naturalization certificate) still need to leave your hands if you do it that way?

    • Yeah, but they took the original copy to be mailed to the department of state, for Online Renewals it doesn’t need to leave your hands, but I’m not eligible for a renew cuz my last one was issued in 2016/2017 when I was under 16 (valid only for 5 years), and I don’t even have it anymore.

      I have a printed-copy of the Certificate and digitized versions stored on my phone… but my point is, it feels “less legit” to present it compared to the physical original copy.
