Sometiome this spring the State Dept. will be issuing a passport card that can be used for land and sea travel when intering back into the US. I though for those going to VR II it might be something to think about getting. It might be easier to pull out a card than rummage around for a book. They haven't set an exact date yet as to when they'll be producing the plastic card, just that it'll be spring 2008, and you might want to wait until they actually do as you have to submit your current passport along with the app, and I wouldn't want to be without something. I called to get varification and you will get both a card and a new book. The cost is $20 bucks..... Here's the site to download and print up the app.

This may have been mentioned here before but I missed it if it has. I think this is the route I'm going to go for my wife. Heck, for $20.00 I think I'll get me one also. I have a Passport but wouldn't mind having this handy in my wallet. Eileen doesn't have a Passport so hers will be $45.00. Still, a cheaper alternative for any of you needing one. http://travel.state.gov/passport/ppt_card/ppt_card_3926.html

Passport applications Just had to pass this along, gave me a good chuckle! Maybe we should all forward this with our applications! Does the same level of idiocy apply to other countries???? Dear Mr. Minister, I'm in the process of renewing my passport, and still cannot believe this. How is it that Radio Shack has my address and telephone number and knows that I bought a t.v. cable from them back in 1997, and yet, the Federal Government is still asking me where I was born and on what date. For Chri$t sakes, do you guys do this by hand? My birth date you have on my social insurance card, and it is on all the income tax forms I've filed for the past 30 years. It is on my health insurance card, my driver's license, on the last eight goddamn passports I've had, on all those stupid customs declaration forms I've had to fill out before being allowed off the planes over the last 30 years, and all those insufferable census forms that are done at election times. Would somebody please take note, once and for all, that my mother's name is Maryanne, my father's name is Robert and I'd be absolutely astounded if that ever changed between now and when I die! I apologize, Mr. Minister. I'm really pissed off this morning. Between you an' me, I've had enough of this bull$sh!t! You send the application to my house, then you ask me for my @#&in' address. What is going on? You have a gang of Neanderthals a$$holes workin' there! Look at my damn picture. Do I look like Bin Laden? I don't want to dig up Yasser Arafat, for $hit sakes. I just want to go and park my a$$ on a sandy beach. And would someone please tell me, why would you give a sh!t whether I plan on visiting a farm in the next 15 days? If I ever got the urge to do something weird to a chicken or a goat, believe you me, I'd sure as hell not want to tell anyone! Well, I have to go now, 'cause I have to go to the other end of the city and get another @#%in copy of my birth certificate, to the tune of $60! Would it be so complicated to have all the services in the same spot to assist in the issuance of a new passport the same day?? Nooooo, that'd be too damn easy and maybe make sense. You'd rather have us running all over the @#%in' place like chickens with our heads cut off, leaving a big carbon footprint,then find some a$$hole to confirm that it's really me on the goddamn picture - you know, the one where we're not allowed to smile?! (@#%in morons) Hey, you know why we can't smile? We're totally pi$$ed off! Signed - An Irate @#%ing Canadian Citizen. P.S. Remember what I said above about the picture and getting someone to confirm that it's me? Well, my family has been in this country since 1776 when one of my forefathers took up arms against the Americans. I have served in the military for something over 30 years and have had security clearances up the yingyang. I was aide de camp to the lieutenant governor of our province for ten years and I have been doing volunteer work for the RCMP for about five years. However, I have to get someone 'important' to verify who I am - you know, someone like my doctor WHO WAS BORN AND RAISED IN COMMUNIST @#%ing CHINA !!!

I'm starting this thread because the other one is getting so long and because I have a specific question. We know 2 things are true... 1. If we fly to the US, we need a passport. 2. If we drive to the US we DO NOT need a passport. So, IF we drive to the US, can we then hop a plane (in the US) and fly to somewhere else WITHIN the US without a passport? Has anyone done this?

With the rally going to be in Canada,Starting Monday, new passport requirements kick in I thought that I would share this since I found it in the paper today better get it in soon I would say Next week marks another chapter in a long, often confusing saga of changing U.S. entry rules: As of Monday, U.S. airline passengers will once again need to carry a valid passport when traveling to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean or Bermuda. This summer, after a deluge of applications and complaints of months-long backups, the Bush administration had temporarily waived new passport requirements that took effect Jan. 23 under the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. (Travelers still needed proof that they'd applied for a passport.) Now, with extra staff on board and the summer travel crunch over, the State Department says it has cut passport processing times to six weeks for a routine application and three weeks for expedited service. For the fiscal year ending Sunday, the department issued an estimated 18 million passports, up from 12.1 million in 2006. Starting Jan. 31, Americans returning by land or sea from Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean must, for the first time, show either a valid passport or both a birth certificate or other proof of citizenship and government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license. But what happens next remains uncertain. The Bush administration still plans to implement tighter rules sometime next summer (the exact date will be announced with at least 60 days' notice) that would mandate a passport or another to-be-determined document for most U.S. travelers who re-enter by land or sea. Cruise passengers on sailings that start and end in the USA could continue to show only a government-issued photo ID and birth certificate or other proof of citizenship. Also exempt from the new passport requirement: U.S. and Canadian citizens under 16, plus children 18 and under traveling in designated groups. For tips, application wait times and downloadable application forms: travel.state.gov/passport. •For a first passport, you'll need to apply in person at one of about 9,000 post offices, public libraries or other government offices. •Take a certified copy of your birth certificate, two identical 2-inch-by-2-inch color photographs, a valid photo identification, an application form and fee for the new passport. It is good for 10 years ($97 for travelers 16 and older and $82 for those under 16). •Passport renewals cost $67. If your passport is undamaged and less than 15 years old, you were at least 16 when it was issued and you have the same name (or can legally document your name change), you can renew by mail. •If you're traveling in less than three weeks, consider paying $60 for expedited service, plus overnight-delivery fees. •Last-minute travelers leaving within two weeks who haven't yet applied for a passport should make an appointment to visit one of 14 regional passport offices. To make an appointment by e-mail, visit travel.state.gov/passport, click on " About Passport Services," then " National Passport Services Center." By phone: 877-487-2778. The call center is staffed from 6 a.m. to midnight ET, Monday-Friday, plus limited weekend hours. According to the State Department website, the best time to call is after 8:30 p.m. or before 9 a.m. ET. •Travelers who already have applied can check their status at travel.state.gov/passport. Click " Online Application Status Check." Current applications are taking seven to 10 days to be tracked online. Wow, that is a lot of things to think about so that our rally is a huge sucess next year we got to start planning now. I did not realize that passports cost that much. I thought that I would share Jessie:2132:
