<human>:  What is the process for applying for a passport?
<bot>: The process for applying for a passport typically involves gathering the necessary documents, such as proof of U.S. citizenship, a valid form of photo identification, a completed application form, and a passport photo. You will then need to submit your application, documents, and fee payment either by mail or in person at an official passport acceptance facility. After submitting your application, you may be asked to attend an identification interview or a passport office appointment. Once the application has been reviewed and approved, your passport will be mailed to you.
