Once you've gathered or ordered your proof of USA citizenship, you need to be sure to have government-issued photo identification, typically a driver's license or California ID. If you don't have gov't photo ID, it's time to apply.

If you already have gov't-issued photo ID, fantastic! You're ready to move on to step 3: the passport application itself.
