10. Walgreens passport photos Can the adjust to Canadian and Irish requirements?
11. Photo Shack By reputation they can do Canadian passport photos. Probably adjust to Irish too. And they are just across Maryland too.
12. Renewing an Irish Passport If living abroad (i.e., outside Eire, the part "How to apply" says get the form APS2 from the neareast Irish embassy or consulate.
  1. Irish embassies and consulates in USA The nearest one to Las Vegas, Nevada is the Irish Consulate, San Francisco. There is a Las Vegas Honorary Consul, but she doesn't do ordinary passport services I'd guess.
  2. Irish Dept. of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Passport forms You can't download the APS 2 form---severe darn. You have to ask for it.
  3. APS 2 form guidelines These are detaled online in Australia.
  4. Irish Consulate, San Francisco
    1. States they service include Nevada---which I'd guessed since Irish Consulate, San Francisco is the closest non-honorary one to Las Vegas.
    2. Passport Application process This gives the list of professions who can witness a passport application---it includes notary public---that will work for me. You can email them for the application form APS2---"email the Consulate---provide your full name and street mailing address and specify the number of applications you are requesting."
    3. AP2 2 form for viewing, not downloading---but it's page not found.
    4. APS 2 notes
    5. email page for APS2 applications.

Self-service: MyUNLV The package that allows one to find semester-specific course information. Probably, it allows instructor-student communication. You need a NSHE id for some things---which requires some training first---but not others like course information. See also MyUNLV: Faculty/Instructor which says my NSHE number and inital passwd will be mailed after FERPA training which I've done---so where are they? See also About MyUNLV or IT's MyUNLV.
