Getting one issued does not even take that long if done properly. 2-3 weeks, even faster if you pay 60-some dollars.

I think to expedite a passport in the U.S. through the post office, it costs $187.30 and takes 3 weeks or so. Otherwise it a couple of months.
In Europe...Everybody has a passport. It's my understanding..and I may be incorrect about this...That to travel between European countries that you need a passport. In the U.S....We do not need a passport to travel between states. I know a lot of people who have never even been out of their home states. Going to Mexico, the Caribbean, or Canada does not ever require a passport.
