It says 6 - 8 weeks when you fill out the forms, I got mine in like two weeks. There are also a couple of rush options, but they cost more. If you are going the end of July you should probably do it now and you won't have any problems.
The birth certificate depends on where you were born. You can get it from the NYS Dept of Health, or from the town where you were born if it's not too inconvenient for you. The passport you have to go to the post office for, and you need the BC for the passport.

I went to the post office and got mice. It took about 2 months. They also take your birth certificate and mail it back to you with your passport.

Go to the local town hall in the town you were born in. For example, if you were born at North Shore manhassett hosp. you would go to Town of North Hempstead for the BC, or in Brookhaven or StonyBrook, go to Brookhaven Town Hall.. Bring ID & you can get it on the spot.

I have to get a new birth certificate all the time, lol. Do you live in the county where you were born? If so, it is easy to call the County and go pick one up, they will charge you $10. Or if you order it it takes about 4 weeks.
