Another one of those

Hello everyone,

I have been reading recent posts about the passport renewal process from the US, including a very helpful one from Inky, but I have a couple questions still. If anyone cares to chip in, it would be great!

I'm doing the adult form since I'm changing my name to my married name. I'm also going to Canada for a visit in a couple weeks, so I was going to get my pictures taken there and get my guarantor to sign it all as well. Is this OK?

Once I get back to Virginia, I was going to mail it from here to the office in Gatineau. Is this correct? They will mail my passport to the US, correct?

Thank you for your help everyone!

You should be fine doing it that way. I just applied for my Canadian passport in March and they sent it directly to my address in the U.S.

I didn't try the name change. I just left it with my maiden name as I knew the headache would be too much.

Once I get back to Virginia, I was going to mail it from here to the office in Gatineau. Is this correct? They will mail my passport to the US, correct? If there is an office you can go into, why not do it in person while you're back home?- you'll get your old passport back on the spot if you need it to travel back homeThank you for your help everyone!

Here is my review when I did it while back home in ON - really easy, nothing to it.

Perfect! I wish I would have seen that thread before posting! It's all there! Thank you!

In case I can't make it in person though, would I mail the form from the US to Gatineau?

Yes, that is also fine. Whereever it says to mail.

Exactly what I did, easy peasy. I recommend shelling out and sending it UPS. It's the only way to get a tracking number. USPS can send it too, but can't do a tracking number into Canada.

Sounds good, thank you! I'm nervous about going to the office and getting my passport cut, and then being refused at the US border. Every time I've crossed over with the green card, they asked me for my passport.

I'll keep you posted! Thank you!

I'm going to be sending mine in after the holiday tomorrow, i'll let you know how it goes I'm changing my name on mine too.

I don;t think you'd have any problems. You have your receipt showing you've just renewed to go along with the passport with the corner cutoff.

J& J, definitely let me know!

Udella & Wiz, Yes, that's what I was thinking would happen, logically speaking there should be a problem... I'll see what happens, I'm getting there on a Friday and leaving on the Monday, I might not even have time to go in to an office.
