Pitbull’s Passport Must Be Full! A Message to Mr. International: Come to Rush Passport NYC for More Passport Pages

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

New York City’s Times Square was recently the home to one of the world’s most star studded New Year’s Eve Parties!  The crowds of people came out to Times Square to ring in the New Year to the music of Pitbull, Justin Bieber with Santana and others.

Of the hundreds of thousands of people who came out, many used their passports and visas to come to New York City from places all across the globe.

Pitbull made it to New York City after traveling around the world on tour.  According to some of the lyrics below, his passport is full!

Pitbull is one of the hottest music stars of 2011 and into 2012.  Pitbull’s album “Planet Pit” is named for his globe-trotting music tours and many of the tracks in the album pay homage to world travel.  One of the most popular songs off the album is named “International Love” and the lyrics mention trips to US cities such as New York City, Los Angeles, Miami and foreign countries such as Romania, Lebanon and Greece.  In the song, Pitbull brags about using his passport to visit “countries and cities that (he) can’t pronounce.”  He also says that in the Domincan Republic (DR) “they looking for visa’s I Ain’t taking credit cards if you know what I mean!”

In the song “Across the World”, Pitbull sings “For just singing a song now my passports full I’m outta pages – new places, new faces, new fans, all ages!”  Pitbull, if your passport is really full, come visit Rush Passport™ and we’ll help you get some new pages so that you can do some more traveling.

Lyrics to “She’s Hotter” boast “what else can you ask for, international playa buddy, just take the passports anytime anyplace anywhere we don’t care.”

A mix-tape by DJ Noodles and Pitbull is actually named “Passport International Takeover The United Nations.”

2011 has been a year of travel for Pitbull and if 2012 is to be another year of traveling the globe, it looks like Pitbull is going to need some more passport pages!

Rush Passport: Celebrity Passport Specialist, “Passport Expediter to the Stars”

Wednesday, July 27th, 2011

It seems that people are obsessed with celebrities.  Celebrity passports are no exception.  A US Department of State passport agency employee who worked at the San Francisco passport office was charged with 3 counts of exceeding authorized computer access.

The 24 year passport agency employee, Richard G. Macias retired in May.  However, records show that before retirement peeked at sometimes printed out passport applications of more than 100 celebrities.

Records show that between 2003 and 2009, Macias improperly logged on to the State Department’s passport records system 168 times.  During these unauthorized logins he viewed the passport applications of actors, models and musicians.  In 88 of those occasions when Macias viewed the celebrity passport applications, he printed them.

While there are no records of Macias selling these print outs to 3rd parties, it is still illegal for a passport employee to even look at unauthorized records – let alone print them out.

If you are obsessed with celebrities too, then come on down to Rush Passport™ and see the many celebrity photos that adorn our walls.  We have expedited passports for countless celebrities as well as regular people just like you.  Visit our NYC passport agency and find out why we are known as the “Passport Expediter to the Stars”.  And when you’re in our office, who knows you might even bump into a couple of celebrities…

Passport lost?  Is your passport lost or has your passport been stolen?  As you know, your US passport is a very important document that must be protected.  However, it is possible to lose your passport or have your passport stolen if you are not careful.  If your passport has been lost or stolen, then you should take action as quickly as possible. 

US passportIf you have lost your passport and you are overseas, you must contact the nearest US Embassy as soon as possible.  The embassy will supply you with instructions on how to replace the missing passport. 

However, if you are in the US, and you have lost your US passport, you must contact the US Dept of State at 1-877-487-2778 to invalidate your passport.  Remember that once your passport has been reported missing, it cannot be revalidated.  A new passport must be issued.

If you have a passport emergency and need your passport for travel within the next 14 days, then you may apply for an expedited passport.  You will need to present proof of citizenship, identification, 2 passport photos and you must fill out the passport application and pay the passport fees.

Did you know that you can get a same day passport if needed?  Some people just assume that they must cancel their travel plans, but you may be eligible for a same day passport as long as your trip is within 14 days.  You will need to provide proof of pending travel to qualify for an expedited passport.

Passport Office Having Trouble Keeping Up With Passport Applications: Passport Blog: Rush Passport

Tuesday, April 19th, 2011

ny passportTired of waiting around for your passport to arrive?  The US Department of State generally processes passports within 4-6 weeks.  If that seems like a long time to wait for your passport, imagine if you lived in Pakistan.  Currently, over 50,000 passport applicants who applied for their passports over 2 months ago are still waiting for their passports to arrive.  The passport problems are being blamed on faulty passport printing machines and a shortage of passport lamination paper.  The passport lamination paper is used to cover the machine-readable passports.

It seems like this is a recurring problem as the passport printing has been delayed for the same reasons 3 times in the past 3 years.  The passport agency has not taken steps to correct these issues.  In the meantime, Pakistani passport officials say that they are awaiting the arrival of new passport printing machines from Germany.

Can you just imagine all of the people with expired passports, lost passports who have applied for a new passport and are still waiting?  What about all of the passport applicants applying for first time passports?  The problems have had an effect on all passport applications, whether adult passport or child passport. 

Some people are due to leave the county in the upcoming days and their passport has still not arrived.  People need passports to visit sick relatives and unfortunately some travelers do not get their passport in time to see their relatives before they pass away.  Other travelers have complained of corruption as passport officials are being bribed to get passport applicants expedited passports.

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

US Passports by State: You’ll Never Guess Which State Has the Highest Ratio of Citizens to Passports

Friday, March 11th, 2011

Passports are not as popular with US citizens as people expect.  The latest US passport statistics have been released and surprisingly enough, just 30% of US citizens are US passport holders.  Are you shocked by the number of Americans without US passports?  How many Americans actually have a passport?  Which states have the highest ratio of citizens that are US passport holders?  Do states on or close to the coast tend to have higher ratios of citizens to US passports than land locked states? 

US passport mapYes, its true.  States that are either on, or close to the coasts have a tendency to feature the highest percentage of citizens holding US passports.  The top states with the highest ratios valid US of citizens to passports are California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Delaware.  All of these states feature over 60% of the citizens with US passports.  Do you know which state has the overall highest ratio of citizens to passports?  If you guessed New York, you’re wrong.  If you think California has the highest passport to citizen ratio, then you are wrong again.  It’s not Massachusetts either.  Nor is Delaware the leader in passport ratio.  Yup, you guessed it, New Jersey is the winner with over 68% of its citizens holding valid US passports.

There is one state that has the lowest percentage passport holders.  Do you know which state it is? Here’s a hint: It’s not east of the Mississippi or west of the Mississippi because it is Mississippi.  Less than 20% of Mississippi citizens hold US passports.

Regardless of what state you live in, Rush Passport™ can help make your trips come true.

8 Easy Steps to Getting a Baby Passport

Monday, March 7th, 2011

8 Steps to Getting a US Passport for a Baby

US baby passportFirst off, it is important to understand that all international travelers are required to present a passport regardless of age.  In order to get a passport for a baby, both parents / legal guardians are required to be present at the time of the passport application.

Step 1

First it is important to gather the documents that you will need to prove the baby’s U.S. citizenship.  Primary documents only are accepted.  Examples of primary documents include a certified birth certificate, consular report of birth abroad, or foreign birth certificate.  Essentially, it is important to gather additional documents that establish a parental relationship for both parents to the child.  It is important to choose documents that list the names of both parents, such as a birth certificate.

Step 2

Parents must also have official proof of identification.  Parents can use an undamaged, US passport, valid driver’s license, naturalization certificate or military ID.  It is important for parents to also have their social security numbers.  Parents should make copies of these documents on standard white, 8 ½ by 11 inch paper.

Step 3

Get and fill out the baby’s passport application.  The form to use is Form DS-11: Application for a U.S. Passport.  The passport application, Form DS-11 may be completed online or printed out and completed in black ink.  It is important not to sign the printed DS-11.  The passport application must be signed in the presence of a passport agent at the Passport Acceptance Facility.

Step 5

Take two passport photos of the child.  The passport photos must be identical and they must be color photos that are exactly 2 inches by 2 inches.  The baby’s head must be uncovered. 

Step 6

Prepare to have the passport fee available.  Pay for the passport application using credit card, check or money orders.  Checks must be made payable to “Department of State.”

Step 7

Take the completed passport application, necessary documentation, passport photos and payment to Passport Acceptance Facility.

Step 8

Allow  4-6 for passport processing.

Rush Passport™, Official US Passport Expeditors Makes it Easy to Get a Passport.

Friday, November 19th, 2010

Passport ExpeditorsRecent passport problems at passport offices are just another reason to come to Rush Passport™ for all of your passport needs.  Let Rush Passport™, official US Passport expeditors, handle everything.  Who needs the stress of waiting on long lines at the passport office only to find out that you failed to fill out the paperwork properly, your passport photos are not within the regulations or your identification is not acceptable?  Going to the passport office in person can be confusing, annoying and even dangerous!

Recently a “suspicious white powder” was found on a package in the mail room at the National Passport/Visa Center in New Hampshire.  A passport agency employee alerted authorities after finding the substance in the mailroom of the passport agency.

Everyone in the building at the time including passport agency staff and hopeful passport applicants were all evacuated.  It was later determined that the substance was not an actual threat.

Then in an unrelated incident in Tucson, Arizona a security guard was shot while leaving the US passport office.  It is unclear as to why the shooters chose to shoot the security guard or if there was any significance to the fact that the shooting occurred outside of the US passport office.  Witnesses say that two people in a late model Chevy Suburban opened fire on the 53 year old security guard as he left the U.S. passport office.   Thankfully, the guard, Russel Buchanan of Huachuca City was not seriously injured.

Getting a passport should not be a dangerous or stressful experience.  Rush Passport™ has an experienced and knowledgeable passport agency staff that is ready to assist you with all of your passport needs from passport photos to new passports and everything in between.
