How soon i can get my newborn baby American passport?

Congratulations on the impending birth of your child. You first have to wait for the birth certificate. How long that takes depends on a lot of things. Unless you live in Louisiana, it should not take too long. I had to wait 6 weeks for my daughter’s and that was after getting the doctor to sign the forms immediately (apparently, the hold up is often due to the doctors who wait for a few weeks and sign a whole stack of forms rather than signing them one by one) and after paying a fee for an expediated process, but that’s because Louisiana’s office of vital records was destroyed by Katrina. You will also need two passport photos of your child. The baby’s eyes have to be open in the picture. It took us two tries to get this done. We went to J.C. Penny’s, but she wouldn’t open her eyes the first time. Finally, when she was three weeks old, we were able to get them. With the birth certificate and the photos and your and the father’s signatures or presence, you can apply for the passport. U
