Travel Tips

New policies were just announced by the US Passport office last week which allow you to bring proof of ID (a birth certificate) and print off of the internet a copy of the information that you have applied for a passport or bring other documentation that the passport has been applied for.

Check the Passport office web site for this latest information:

You can go to this web site and put in your information to check on the status of your passport. While you have the window open, print the information and that's all the proof you will need.

Don't freak, kid. Do this. Get your travel ticket and go down to a passport office. Not a library or post office, the passport office. Show them what you've got. They'll do a trace and if it isn't up to snuff, long as you've got the required fotos and pertinent other information like you were gonna fill it out the first time on hand, they'll issue you one right there.

Have the fee ready. There. See? You freaked for nothing. Nothing, I tell you! Ick!
If the cruise is to the Caribbean, then you do not need a passport. If you do need one, then you need a photo id, and your receipt for the passport application.
sa
call the cruise line & find out exactly what you need... I think the US has lifted some regulations on the passport issue b/c of the type of delay you're experiencing.

good luck!!!!
If you are sailing in June 07 you won't need a passport ( that's a good thing ) I just had my passport renewed and it took 3 months for a renewal... You won't need anything but your birth certificate until Jan 01,08.
Have Fun....
