Monty Posted August 12, 2014 #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.

Flyinfool Posted August 12, 2014 #3 Posted August 12, 2014 I have thought about it. But I only got so far as to print out the forms.
Eck Posted August 12, 2014 #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..
djh3 Posted August 12, 2014 #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.

OH MAN BROTHER,, WISH YOU'LD A SAID SUMTHIN,, I KNOW A GUY THAT MAKES EM IN AN HOUR AND ONLY CHARGES 50 BUCKS :rotf:JUST KIDDING:backinmyday: I know its way to late but FYI for anyone reading this.. Michigan (and I assume the other states too?) offers Enhanced Drivers Licenses, we have them and found them to work GREAT for Canadian border crossing but not into Mexico..
Monty Posted August 13, 2014 Author #7 Posted August 13, 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. 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.
djh3 Posted August 13, 2014 #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.
Skid Posted August 13, 2014 #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
sarges46 Posted August 13, 2014 #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.
Hummingbird Posted August 13, 2014 #12 Posted August 13, 2014 But what will you do when you want to take a bike trip thru Europe ? or go to Venice to sample some just caught clams and wine ?
Monty Posted August 13, 2014 Author #13 Posted August 13, 2014 No thanks. Seen all of Europe that I wanted to.
etcswjoe Posted August 13, 2014 #14 Posted August 13, 2014 I have used mine more than I ever thought I would.
Pam Posted August 13, 2014 #15 Posted August 13, 2014 Be sure to stay in the box when you sign too. they didn't like my wandering crayon once and sent it back. I also thought I would never need one but now I am on my second renewal. Makes things so much easier going back and forth
