Passport Day in the USA Event Planned for Today, April 9, 2011

Saturday, April 9th, 2011

passportCan I still get a passport?  What could the government shutdown mean to you if you are one of the people who need to get a passport?  After all, April 9th, 2011 is slated to be the 3rd Annual Passport Day in the USA.  However, if there is a government shutdown, you can kiss that passport event goodbye. 

The US government shutdown of 1995 and 1996 was primarily caused by a conflict between President Clinton and the Republican-controlled Congress over funding for Medicare.  This time around, it seems that a dispute over family planning is what threatens the shutdown.   The government shutdown of 1995 -1996 took place from November 14 through November 19, 1995 and from December 16, 1995 to January 6, 1996. 

During the shutdown, ‘non-essential’ government agencies are closed and employees are told not to come into work.  Passport services fall into the category of ‘non-essential’.  Tell that to someone who needs to get an emergency passport to see an ill loved one. 

During the last shutdown major federal government agencies became inoperative including passport services.  In addition to passport services, other sectors including health and welfare and national parks were affected.   Hundreds of thousands of passport applications and applications for visas went unprocessed.

Hopefully, the government shutdown will be avoided and passport services will not be interrupted.  To find out the latest on passport services, you can call Rush Passport™ at (877) 937-7277 (All 50 States) or NY Passport Office (212) 643-9305.

Passports for Mexicans?

Monday, September 27th, 2010

US Passports for Mexican nationals aren’t easy to come by – but Mexican passports are if you live in North Carolina.  Approximately 400 Mexican nationals attended Concord High School’s Mexican Passport Event earlier this month.  The 400 people were there to apply for Mexican passports and additional forms of Mexican identification.

Mexican Passport

Mexican nationals need valid passports to get back into Mexico once they return home. The matricula consular card can be used as a form of identification in the United States.

The passport event had a purpose – to ensure that Mexican citizens have proper identification from the Mexican government.

Just to clarify – no US Passports were issued at the event.  The Mexican passports and government-issued picture IDs (matricula consular cards) were provided to passport applicants who supplied birth certificates and additional documentation.

Mexican nationals need valid passports to get back into Mexico once they return home.  The matricula consular card can be used as a form of identification in the United States.

Many Mexican nationals cannot open up bank accounts because they do not have US Passports or other necessary forms of identification.  However, people with both a matricula consular card and a Mexican passport can open up bank accounts.

The matricula card can also be used to provide proof of identity for such things as enrolling children in school or applying for credit.  It is also enables Mexicans to obtain an individual tax identification number from the IRS so that they may pay US income tax.

Many of the Mexicans who attended the event needed to obtain a passport so that they could use them as identification during trips back to Mexico.
