Tutor Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 My mil just called my dh and said she'd like pay to send dh and fil to Germany for a week for fil's birthday in July. Is that even doable? I told dh that his idea of a notarized letter that says, "I am not a terrorist." isn't going to fly. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutor Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 I think I found it... 4-6 weeks. Unless there's still a backlog I'm not aware of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrscopterdoc Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 My daughter and I both applied for one and we had them within 2 weeks. FYI ~ I was not aware of this until I got there that you had to send in the *original* birth certificates. I had everything in order but must have missed that one small sentence. I almost had a heart attack but they both came back safe and sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would probably pay the additional fees to expedite now b/c it is nearing travel season. Not worth risking a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

Lisa in Jax Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 We applied for passports for our kids in mid-January and had them back in three weeks. This was especially quick, given that my kids had Indian passports, birth certificates and "green cards" for proof of identity. One of the kids even had a different birth date than the Indian documents showed. IOW, the process ought to have been more complex than usual, as my kids were international adoptees. If they did "complex" applications in three weeks, your passports should be even faster. HIH, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donovans4 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 and we had them in less than two weeks. I was amazed! We did not expedite them because we aren't travelling until July. LauraD in MN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeOnTheRanch Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 The postmaster told me 6-8 weeks, but we had them in 2. My parents just got theirs. Theirs took under 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimnactmom Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 JUST A NOTE!!! If you are applying for a passport for a child, both parents must appear in person. If they both don't accompany the child, you will need a notarized letter from the non-appearing parent giving the child permission to obtain a passport. I believe the form needing to be notarized is on the passport website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
