Yes. In Florida it is very easy, you can pick one up the day after birth from a number of gov't offices.

I'd still need to rely on the US citizenship to get home to Miami...

I will go this route to get a passport for baby's 2nd trip in late July, but I don't want to book a ticket to/from YYZ until I have the passport in-hand... I don't feel comfortable trusting the government to come through on their promises of acting in a timely manner.

Already on it! Unfortunately it takes 8-12 months to receive the certificate.

So should I just do DTW for baby's first trip in two weeks?
