Download an application.
Get 2 passport photos.
Take the above along with a birth certificate and your driver's license to the post office.

It is now taking 10 weeks due to the new laws.

if you are a US Citizen then go to your local post office and they will give you the papers to fill out1 it will cost you about 70$, passport photos and will take 6 weeks for you to come back to you.
if you are an alien you will not get one until you are a citizen.

Yup, go to the post office or http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html. You will need a birth certificate and an ID. This is supposing you are a US citizen....
Oh, and keep in mind that the passport agency is swamped now. I sent for mine by mail and it took ten weeks. You can get it faster but you have to pay $60 more. Hope this helps!

kid with an idea...

go to an embassy and ask for one

A US citizen applying for his passport for the first time can go to this link:

Assuming that you are a United States citizen...
you need proof of identity, proof of citizenship, two passport-sized photgraphs, a DS-11 application, and a fee of $97.00. Bring these to a passpoty acceptance facility, which includes post offices, and many courthouses. The US Government has a website, http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/first/first_830.html,
which details this info and lays out alternative methods.

Like everyone said you can go to the post office and get a application, bring your drivers license and 2 passport pictures it cost approximately 70 to 100 for regular delivery. approximate 10 weeks due to changes in high volume

if u plan to travel within two weeks you can bring a copy of your itinerary and ask for it to be expressed delivered (which cost extra and takes about 3 days) i think the cost is about 160

another option is to go to an actual passport agency (there are 13 in the united states (http://travel.state.gov/passport/about/agencies/agencies_913.html) and it takes about 30 to an hour to if you dont go to a busy place. (like boston) You also get it same day
