How do I get a United States passport (I am 17 and a citizen of the US)?

Michelle's $550 Sneakers!!

You can apply for a passport at many post offices around the country. The fees and payment methods are listed below. For an additional $15 fee, your passport photo may be taken at some of these offices as well. You could also complete this form online, print it, have a passport photo taken, and then go to your local USPS to complete transaction.

The links others gave are going to lead you to correct answers, but there are a couple things you should be aware of. You need th signature of your parents (both) to get a passport before you are 18; and if you travel alone you will need a signed and notarized approval from them.

http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/minors/minors_4313.html
All Minors Age 16 and 17 shall:

* Appear in person at the time of application
* Have a parent or guardian present photo identification if the minor does not have identification of his or her own
* Establish parental consent (You may be requested to provide written parental consent for a child age 16 or 17 if it is not implied on the application)

In addition to these special requirements, all minors age 16 and 17 should follow the instructions at How to Apply for the First Time (In Person).

STEP 1: Complete and Submit Form DS-11: Application For A U.S. Passport

Complete Form DS-11: Application for a U.S. Passport. To submit Form DS-11, you:
* Must apply in person at an Acceptance Facility or Passport Agency
* Must include the additional documentation required by Form DS-11 (See Steps 2-5)
* Must not sign the application until instructed to do so by the Acceptance Agent
* Must provide your Social Security number

STEP 2: Submit Evidence of U.S. Citizenship
When applying for a U.S. passport in person, evidence of U.S. citizenship must be submitted with Form DS-11. All documentation submitted as citizenship evidence will be returned to you. These documents will be delivered with your newly issued U.S. passport or in a separate mailing.

STEP 3: Present Identification
When applying for a U.S. passport in person, acceptable identification must be presented at the time of application.

STEP 4: Pay the Applicable Fee
Please see Current Passport Fees and methods of payment.

STEP 5: Provide Two Passport Photos
We can help you submit clear and correctly exposed passport photos the first time - especially when applying for the U.S. Passport Card. See Quality Requirements for Passport Book & Passport Card Photographs to avoid photo processing delays.
