What is the difference between a passport book & passport card?
Q. I need to get my US passport renewed and I was looking online on how to do so through the US Embassy and they gave me the option in choosing a passport book, a passport card or both. I'm guessing that the classic passport is the book. So what is the passport card and should I get it too?
Asked by Madrid Chica - Sat Jan 9 20:07:29 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Based on your name [Madrid] and by reading through your question [US Embassy] it can be presumed that you do not live in the U.S. The passport card can only be used for land/sea travel from the United States to Bermuda, Canada, Mexico, and the adjacent islands of the Caribbean. If you are legally staying in Spain and have a Spanish "Residencia Card" as I.D. there would be actually no need for you to get the U.S. passport card in addition to the passport book. ..

Is passport needed to apply for EAD during the I-485 stage?
Q. My H1-B is valid till dec 31st, 2007. From Jan 3rd, Iam planning to work with EAD. I need to apply for EAD tomorrow, but lost my passport yesterday. Getting a new passport takes atleast 2 months at my home country's consulate here in usa. I have applied I-485 couple of months back. Does anyone know whether we need passport to apply for EAD? I just remember only my passport number but that passport is now lost. I have filed a complaint at local police station and also informed my home country consulate. I know that we need passport for the next H-1B, but Since I have applied for I-485 and am planning to use EAD, do we still need passport to apply for EAD?
Asked by ramalingam - Tue Oct 2 14:15:31 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. At least, here's what the USCIS says: A copy of your last EAD (front and back). If no priorEAD has been issued, you must submit a copy of afederal government issued identity document, such as apassport showing your picture, name, and date of birth; abirth certificate with photo ID; a visa issued by a foreignconsulate; or a National ID document with photo and/orfingerprint. The identity document photocopy mustclearly show the facial features of the applicant and thebiographical information.

How can I renew my passport if my parents are aboard?
Q. I am a student in California. I need my US passport to be renewed because I have to go to Korea this August and my passport will expire in July. My parents live in Korea and I live in California with my guardian. But I couldn't get my passport with my guardian's signature because he is not a court order established guardianship or whatever. I am 16 so I need my parents signature. Is there any way that I can make my passport with out making my parents come to US? Also is both of my parnets required to sign eventhough I'm over 14?

A. Well, you could send the forms to your parents for them to sign. But a more interesting question for me is how are you in the US without a legal guardian?

Is a passport required to go on a cruise that goes around Hawaii?
Q. I was planning a vacation to Hawaii and before I book it and reserve it, I wanted to make sure that it didn't require a passport because my passport has expired and I don't think I have enough time to get it done this summer. So I was wondering would an Driver's License, ID, or an Student ID be ok to go on a Hawaiian cruise? Thank You so much for answering my question! Thank You so much for answering my question!
Asked by flavormeattt - Sun Jun 28 04:05:20 2009 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. So long as the ship stops only in Hawaii, you do not need a passport. However, the cruise line may require one anyway, so be sure to find out! As to your expired passport, it doesn't really take very long at all to renew, so why not do it anyway? It's wonderful ID for all sorts of travel.

A. You must apply for a new passport. They will not let you in unless all documents match. When you get married or divorce or have any kind of a name change, it must be on your passport. If not, you won't be allowed to enter.

Do you need a passport to buy plane tickets to a foregin country?
Q. I don't have a passport, but I need to buy tickets so I can get the passport! (They need proof of travel for one day service). I have to get my passport like NOW, so I want to buy tickets to Austrailia but I don't know, do you need a passport for that? I don't want to go all the way to the airport just to find out I can't buy tickets without a passport. I'm buying from Air Canada. I know you need a passport to take the flight, but to simply buy the tickets do you need a passport for that?
Asked by SmileyGuy - Mon Jun 4 14:29:51 2007 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments

A. No, you don't need a passport to buy plane tickets as long as you're travelling within the borders of United States. But travelling outside of USA is completely a different story. Even crossing the border of US and Canada, the government will soon require a passport. Going anywhere in Europe and Asia it is imperative that you have a passport. My advise to you is to get a passport if you're planning on travelling anywhere outside of USA.

A. Hi Aditya, if you hold an Indian passport you should either ask the question in Y!A India, then everybody could see it, or if you ask in Y!A United States add your citizenship should it be non-U.S. All answerers have presumed that you hold a U.S. passport and have answered accordingly. You will need to apply for a fresh passport and follow the procedures for this type of application. A re-issue is not possible since your previous passport has expired for longer than three years; you still should attach it to your application to ease up the process. Good luck! ..
