(?) not sufficient for passport purposes...

[TOT 0]

Hallo guys.. yesterday , I got a letter from United States Department of state , Charleston Passport Center .. it said the identification you provided is not sufficient for passport purposes. Please submit photocopies of Five (5) or more personal documents , which are five (5) years or older. for your information we have included a list of acceptables forms of personal documents that may assist our office in establishing your identity. however , you may submit any other document in your possession that shows either your name and photo (with issue date) or name and signature ( with issue date).

does anyone have this experience ?

and how long it's gonna take if I send all documents they need ? shold I worry about this ?

please help...

thank you in advance.

Nothing to worry about. Provide copies of document they asked for. If you are near to a passport agency, I think it would make sense to make an appointment and shell out 60 bucks and walk out with newly minted passport. If you decide to mail out copies of documents they are asking for , it's my understanding you still get to keep your priority date, and will get your passport on time. When did you apply for your passport? Did you have a recent name change?

I'm a little confused. What documents did you hand in to the acceptance agent? The only document they should need from a newly minted US citizen is a Certificate of Naturalization, which they keep for a few weeks and mail back to you.

thanks for your replied.. I sent all my documents for them already. I did my passport 3,5 weeks ago. and I did change my name it's on my certificate of naturalization.

at that time they only asked for fotocopies of my driver license and they took my certificate .

FYI-Once you start the passport process by mail, you can't then walk-in to a passport center. And to add... a passport center will only make an appt if the applicant is traveling within 2 weeks. We tried with my stepdaughters, but they say we have to finish by mail.

OP,

The NPC asks for more documents (even though you have provided everything that's required) when they are questioning the authenticity or validity of the documents you included. We are facing the same issue with my stepdaughters. We included everything they ask for and now they want some stupid documents from around their birth (I think they believe that the birth certificates we included issued by the National Registry of Costa Rica). We don't have anything like that so we are going to CR next month with the girls. I hope they will be allowed to re-enter the US with green cards even though they became US citizens when my wife did.

TOT,

What type of documents did they ask for? Can you provide us a sample list?

Where your stepchildren able to travel to Costa Rica with their green card and return before you did their US passport?

I am kind of in that position right now

Wow, that's quite a list!  Is this normal when applying for a passport? I was under the same impression as a previous poster that you just need your naturalization certificate and perhaps a birth cert or a couple of other supporting documents to prove ID.
