Passport Info?????

[Muumuu]

Still waiting for our local passport office to return my call with a few questions I have. So I am going to the best source and that is this board.

1. Is renewing a childs passport like obtaining a new one for them?

2. Is the price going up any time soon?

Cannot find this on the govt passport web site.

Thank you

Not sure about child's passport but we received our passports in January, and just recently read that with the new "special passports" (anti-theft/terror, etc) the price will go up $5.00 (I think)

All this information IS on the site.

Looks like you have to re-apply in person to renew a child's passport. I'm guessing this is because children change so much that the photo might not be good for idenification.

I didn't see anything on the site about if the price is going up soon.

The prices went up just recently, but there is rumors floating around (apparently from passport agents) that they prices will go even higher next year.

here is the wesite for the US www.travel.state.gov The National Passport Information Center toll-free number is 1-877-487-2778 We renewed our passports by mail. Had to send old passport with a new picture (Walmart does passport pictures) along with $67 for each passport. It has been almost 4 weeks since we mailed them. Still haven't gotton our passports yet. They say 4-6 weeks, but we leave in 3 weeks, so I guess I will be giving them a call

 

Hope the info helps

This is the first time we will be traveling with passports - we have always used birth certificates in the past. Do we need to have any other documentation if we have passports?

As far as I know if you have passports that is all you need. That is all we have ever carried with us except for driver's license of coarse.

Opps, misread your post. Sorry, I thought you were asking if you needed anything else besides birth certificates to get a passport- Sorry, I need to learn to read!:o
