if you send in the birth certificate for the making of a usa passport. when they mail you the passport do they mail you the documents you sent in as proof with the passport or do they send it in later? because they did not send in the birthcertificate i only got passport. this is for my infant not me ofcourse im still waiting for my oath.

They should return it separately, if they did not include it with the passport.

2. Present Proof of U.S. Citizenship

All documentation submitted as evidence of U.S. Citizenship will be returned to the applicant. Evidence documents will either arrive with the issued passport or in a separate mailing to the applicant. You may prove U.S. Citizenship with any one of the following:

• Previous U.S. Passport (mutilated, altered, or damaged passports are not acceptable as evidence of U.S. citizenship.)

• Certified birth certificate issued by the city, county or state.

Birth certificate is nothing, can get a new copy at your county court house for around five bucks, had to sign for the passport, certificate of naturalization came in three days later jammed in a cheap first class mail envelop that would cost around 400 bucks for a replacement. I did install a new mail box, much larger so the postman didn't have to fold it up. Still doesn't make sense why they didn't put it in the same heavy cardboard envelop the passport came in that I had to sign for, the sending addresses were exactly the same.

Morons, idiots, imbeciles, take your pick, went to OfficeMax, only thing I could find was a clear plastic insert for a three ring notebook, cut out a piece of cardboard from a box to fit, slip the certificate in there, and Scotch taped the open end. DOS agent asked me to remove the certificate so she could staple it to the form. Are you kidding? I asked, a replacement cost 400 bucks and took five years to get this thing. Convinced her she could staple the plastic insert to the form, she did. I watched her seal the documents in an overnight envelop. When I came back, first class mail, certificate was still in the insert with the cardboard, but someone did cut the tape so apparently it was removed. Wonder if they copied it on an old copy machine, have no idea. But at least they respected my package and the postman did not bend it, even though the envelop was not stamped, "Do Not Bend".

We did have to travel to the Venezuelan Consulate to get my wife's renewed passport, and made darn sure we got the old one back as she need that for her interview, need those for three years back. If they did shed it, would have requested the bits and pieces back, so we could put those in a zip lock bag, and toss that at the interviewer.

Took that plastic insert to SSA, they wanted me to remove the certificate to make their own copy, said okay, but let me see your hands first to make sure they are clean, did laugh, but they got the point. Also told them a replacement cost 400 bucks so be careful with it, would have to sue them if they did any damage to it. Before they would just look at my copies compared to the original, but not only dealing with idiots, but paranoid idiots.

Heard on a news program that George W. didn't like to surround himself with people that were smarter than him, since he is a moron, that just leaves imbeciles and idiots, and paranoid imbeciles and idiots at that. I don't blame him for not reacting to Katrina and New Orleans, he never knew that city and Mississippi are part of the USA. But took him a week to find out, none of his advisers knew that either. Only reason he knew about Iraq, his dad told him about that, surprised he remembered, was stone drunk at the time.
