Monty Posted August 12, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 12, 2014 Well, I finally got around to filling out the form for my passport. Never had one before. Only traveled abroad with the U.S. Military. Now I just have to turn it in, with a photo & proper IDs. Wish I would have done it a while back, so I would have it when we visit Niagara Falls next week. Oh well, at least I have the process started, so I can work on visiting some of our Canadian friends in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyinfool Posted August 12, 2014 Share #3 Posted August 12, 2014 I have thought about it. But I only got so far as to print out the forms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eck Posted August 12, 2014 Share #4 Posted August 12, 2014 Some local Drug stores have capabilities of making a passport photo for you. Just make sure your eyes are "open" in the photo you submit with your passport forms....If your eyes are closed, they will reject it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted August 12, 2014 Share #5 Posted August 12, 2014 Monty I sure hope you are staying on our side of the falls. No passport no re entry to US. And the backlog on these things is tremendous now that you have to have one to even go on a cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the backlog on these things is tremendous now that you have to have one to even go on a cruise. Not going to cross. I will be careful aboot that...eh? I am getting the passport card, instead of the book. Canada is the only place I'll be going, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted August 13, 2014 Share #8 Posted August 13, 2014 In that case the cards work well. From what I have been told the cards work good for Canada, Mexico, bahamas and the like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skid Posted August 13, 2014 Share #9 Posted August 13, 2014 The family & I did a cruise on April on Carnival and no passport needed. We went to Grand Turks, Half Moon Cay, & Nassau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarges46 Posted August 13, 2014 Share #10 Posted August 13, 2014 Remember my southern brethren the card is only good to cross by land and not by air! If you plan to fly to any Canadian destination you will need a real passport. Same rule for us crossing over to see you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
