Expedited Passport
- Thread starter JUANTAMAD
- Start date
Hi,
Out of curiosity, and for my own case. How did you apply for the 3 passports at once? I am assuming it is you, your wife, and your child. Didn't you have any issues with 3 passports and only 2 naturalization certificates?
I have 2 kids. Second kid was born here and his old US Passport has just expired. So, we simply used the opportunity of both parents being in the same place.
Thanks for the clarification. I have heard of people who have been able to process both parents and one child (the child not having a certificate, just the GC) with only two naturalization certificates, but I think it is highly dependent on the receiving agent.
It very much appears so. While I was waiting in line I asked another USPS agent if they have a copy machine and explained my cituation. He said that they would just put it all together in the same package and then we would not need a copy to apply for my daughter. Unfortunately when our line came he was busy with another applicant. When I was talking to our agent to mail that in the same package she said it would be impossible and it all should go in different packages so the only way for us is to wait for our passports...
She also insisted for us to provide a date of expected trip (that was to be coming up soon), otherwise she was refusing to accept our applications for expedited service... I just could not beleive it how much this all depended on some USPS acceptance clerk understanding... Oh well, that's life (whether you are USC or not).

On-line status shows passport mailed
The on-line status changed today to mailed - hope to receive it by Monday latest (asked for express mail). Applied 7/25/07 but put in calls to the customer service center and sent a fax to Charleston since I was travelling on the 16th (next week).

Should be OK
If they confirmed it is expedited, and the check is cashed for the right amount, then just wait for for a couple of weeks and call after the 3-4 week window for expedited (unless you have imminent travel plans).

Thanks, I sent in a money order, not a check. I'd read of some cases where the application was returned because they used a check and I didn't want to take a chance.
Anyway I'm not in a hurry but would feel safer having a passport.
Update:
Today I received a letter in the mail acknowledging receipt of my application and a few minutes back an e-mail confirming expedited service, it says that I should receive my passport within 2-3 weeks of application. The website also shows expedited processing now.

Congratulations on your passports! Does this mean that you were able to apply for the three passports at once? You posted this question a few weeks ago, but I am not sure if you ended up being able to apply for the three passports with the two naturalization certificates and GC and birth certificate or your son.

What does an NC look like? Does it have your photo in it? What size is it?
I am getting sworn in on 8/24 and can not wait!!!

Here's a sample

It is not a very impressive-looking piece of paper (the passport on the other hand is quite nice). And yes, it does have your photo (just the photo you provided pasted on it).

Yes, I am able to apply three together with two naturalization certificates. At post office, she made copies of certificates and put a note on my son's application as "Applying along with the parents"
Thanks
Hi new_gcuser,
Thanks for letting me know. I will try this next week. I have very high hopes that it should work for me too. Otherwise I will try to find another post office.
I applied the Expedited Passport on 08/09/07
Check was cashed on 08/14/07
Online Status appeared - 08/15/07 as "Routine Service"
Does anyone have the same status "Routine Service" instead of "Expedited Service"?
I need to travel out of the country in 2nd week of Sept.
Please help if you know,

Please let me know the status of your Passport on-line. Is it listed as "Routine Service" or "Expedited Service? I applied as expedited Passport service as my local County Clerk with the express mail delivery.
Thanks if you can respond my question,
