To get a passport you will need proof of U.S. citizenship.  You will need to show a valid form of photo identification, such as a driver’s license.   Passport Acceptance facilities require valid indentification. 

There are times that you will need to apply for a passport and times that you may do so through the mail.  If you are applying for a first time US passport, you will need to appear in person.  If your US passport is expired and you do not have the passport, you will also need to apply in person.  If your previous US passport has expired and was issued more than 15 years ago you will also need to apply in person.  If your previous US passport was issued when you were under the age of 16 years old, you will need to appear in person.  If your US passport has been lost or stolen, you will also need to apply in person.

US Passport Renewal

You may renew your US passport by mail if you have your current passport and it is not damaged.  You can also apply by mail if you received the passport within the past 15 years.  If you were over the age of 16 years of age when the passport was issued and you still have the same name, or can legally document your name change, you can also apply by mail.  It is important to keep in mind that if your passport has been, altered or damaged, you will not be able to apply by mail.

US Passport for Dirk Nowitzki? Rush Passport NYC

Friday, January 13th, 2012

US passports are available to US citizens.  Some people have been living in the US for quite some time, but have not become citizens.  Are you interested in becoming a US citizen?  If so, you will be eligible to apply for a US passport.

German basketball star Dirk Nowitzki may decide to apply for US citizenship, thus making him eligible for a US passport. Nowitzki led the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA championship in 2011 and he even visited with President Barack Obama at the White House.  However, he is not a US citizen and does not carry a US passport.

Nowitzki has hinted that he may consider applying for US citizenship.  If Nowitzki plans to stay in the States, it probably makes sense for him to apply for citizenship.

President Obama singled out Nowitzki giving him praise for winning the NBA championship.  Nowitzki arrived in the US from “as a skinny kid with a goofy haircut” and has emerged as one of the premier players in the NBA.  Nowitzki handed the president a blue Mavericks jersey with the number 23, a shout out to retired NBA superstar Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls, Obama’s favorite team.

Some are skeptical as to whether Nowitzki will apply for US citizenship – especially since he was named German male athlete of the year for 2011.  If Nowitzki decides to become a US citizen, he would not have to give up his German passport.   In 2010, German tennis player Tommy Haas gained duel citizenship and he continues to represent Germany in tennis.

Whether or not Nowitzki will carry a US passport in addition to his German passport remains to be seen.  However, if you are a US citizen and you need a passport, visit Rush Passport™.

Lost Passport? Stolen Passport? Advice from Rush Passport Regarding What Steps to Take When Your Passport is Missing or Your Passport is Stolen

Friday, May 27th, 2011

passportHave you lost your passport?  Has your passport been lost or stolen?  Surely, you understand that your US passport is a very important travel document that is to be protected.  However, what is a person to do if their passport has been lost or if their passport has been stolen?  If your passport has been lost or stolen, then it goes without saying that you should take action as soon as possible. 

If you have lost your passport, the steps vary depending on whether or not you are currently in the US or outside of the US.  If you are overseas when you lose your passport or have your passport stolen, then you are advised to contact the nearest US Embassy as soon as possible.

For people who are in the US at the time that the passport is lost should contact the United States Department of State toll-free at 1-877-487-2778.  Upon speaking with the US Dept of State they will invalidate your old passport.  Once a passport has been invalidated, it cannot be revalidated.  A new passport must be applied for.

The definition of a passport emergency is when you need your passport for travel within the next 14 days.  People who meet this criteria may apply for an expedited passport.  You will need to provide proof of citizenship, identification, 2 passport photos , the completed passport application and the necessary passport fees.

It is possible to get a same day passport if needed.  Instead of canceling your travel plans, it is a better idea to check if you are eligible for a same day passport.  You will need to present proof of pending travel overseas to take place within the next 14 days to qualify for an expedited passport.

If you need a US passport card or other passport services such as an expedited passport, emergency passport, same day passport, US Passport book or passport photos be sure to contact Rush Passport™.
