us border control salutes you
Had to find this out myself in the last few weeks. Just make sure you bring both passports.
Are you not supposed to return/destroy the old one?
Donât think so? Pretty sure I have an old passport here somewhere
I have the house full of them.
I thought as much. Treatystones talking bollix again.
Looks like I am. You only need to return it if it has over a year left on it.
If your current passport has more than 12 months validity at the time of your renewal application, you will have to send the original passport by post
They return it then with corners cut off.
Why do you need a visa to go for short trip to US?

I knew it. I just knew it.
Youâre Jason Bourne, arenât you?

Like Icarus.
Or Sam Fox.
I was in Birr 3 weeks ago
Have had difficulties with us border control previously. Visa helps avoid a repeat of them.
Thanks bhoys. So initial online tip tapping to generate forms that need to be printed & signed by the guards with the lads present, and then those forms need to be posted off. Have read all those stories of childrenâs passport applications taking months to be processed so relieved that they changed the name of Passport Express recently.
After getting the boysâ mugshots, doing the first online bit, printing up the stuff that needed to be signed by the guards in our presence etc etc, I got the applications posted off in the last month of June. We received both passports back this week (Wednesday for one and the second today quite randomly, despite linking the applications). Itâs gas that, because the service has been so shit and all the publicity that went with it, I was hugely impressed by the 1-month turnaround.
Thatâs how they go. Fill you with horror stories so you will be delighted when you get it double the lead time advertised.
Anybody tell me how to order a passport card?
On the same webpage as a regular passport
Donât, theyâre useless
