Has anyone who had a name change submitted the Name Change Certificate with their application? It looks like it is not required based on the list of documents that the Department of State lists. Just wondering if anyone had any issues with not sending the Name Change Certificate.

I sent a copy of mine, didn't have any issues.

General question to the members who have created the google spreadsheet with info. I think it would help to add the processing center location, as the processing times are varying depending on that....

How do we know where our applications are processed? The online status thingy doesn't display this info for me. All I know is what the address said on the passport envelope (passport was apparently produced in Arkansas) and the address on the naturalization certificate envelope (the top sentence said Boston Passport Agency but the address said Sterling, VA).

Mine is being mailed back from Tucson but I only learned that from USPS tracking after the shipped it.

Your Passport was processed in Boston.

 

Sterling VA is the National Passport Center where the documents go to if mail undeliverable.

I think 'NEW CITIZEN' answered it. Boston agency it is in your case...

Should be the Tucson agency in your case....

So if everyone is OK, I will add a column for the processing agency in the spreadsheet....

Since it has tracking I assume that's the passport and not the Naturalization certificate?

 

Your application is processed elsewhere, and Tucson is where the actual passport was produced, I assume? I don't think you can find out where the actual application was processed until you get your Naturalization Certificate back where you can see the agency it was shipped from, or if you call to ask.

You're right....

 

I assumed incorrectly when replying to dowis... Seeing that top sentence on the return address of the naturalization certificate envelope is the only way.... or somehow know it from talking to them over the phone...

The only reason i got to know mine was because i was working with my local congresswoman...

Someone messed up the table again. It's now back to the last version before those changes. Sorry if anyone's edits got deleted.

 

I guess that's just going to happen if a document can be edited by anyone...

Hi All:

 

Just an update for my passport application.

 

Mailed at USPS on 05/14/2021 (expedited service)

Status changed to In Process on 05/19/2021

Check is being cashed out on 05/20/2021

 

BTW, DOS sent me an email indicating an application locator number, what is that used for exactly? is there a website that we can see which center is currently processing the passport by entering this locator number?

 

Thank you!

I think that number is used if you have to call them and ask about your case, otherwise they might not find your case in their system.
