US Passport; Thank you, Accra US Embassy

[KkMens 20]

        The interview for my 3 months daughter for the Consular Register for Birth Abroad (CRBA) certificate and US passport was on 13th January 2020. Was there 4 weeks after (11th February 2020) for pick up of both CRBA certificate and US Passport.

1. The CRBA certificate was ready but not the passport. Was asked to call on 13th February to see if child’s passport was in.

 

2. Ticket bought for 17th February 2020 travel to the US. 

 

3. Called Embassy as told but Passport not in so was asked to come in on 14th February 2020.

 

4. Within 30minutes, I had a US Passport (Emergency Passport valid for ONLY 1yr) to enable my daughter travel with me.

 

5. The Emergency passport had attached to it a letter and a form to fill out when I get to the US to have my child issued with a Regular US passport.

 

6. The initial passport fee I paid for the Passport still holds valid so NO payment for the Regular one to do when I get back to the US.

 

7. I did not pay for the Emrgency passport. It was FREE

When the CRBA was ready, How were you notified? Also did you have to schedule an appointment to pick it up or did they let you know when tot pick it up?

You will be told on the interview date what to do; when you should book the appointment (Select “Notary and Other Services”) on the website for the CRBA certificate. For the US Passport you have the option of registering with DHL to pick it then you go there for collection. For my advice, forget DHL and pick up all docs at the Embassy. It shouldn’t take you more than 5weeks to have both CRBA cert and passport in hand. If you have any other questions, feel free to inbox me
