Discussion: Passport

That’s good news! We submitted Gage’s application on 3/22 so hopefully that means his will come through soon too (it still says in-process).

If it's getting close to travel and you're worried, contact your congressional rep! Very helpful

YES can confirm that your congressperson can and will help. We had to do that for Max’s and Samantha’s passports several years ago; we ended up getting their passports the day we left. (Whew.)
And you can also add expediting if you need to (I’d paid for that and got it reimbursed since the passport office didn’t come through).
Renewed Max’s passport this spring and paid for expediting, remembering last time—and then it arrived a few weeks ago. And in the end he won’t use it this year. :-(

Bet Gage's will come through soon - maybe Sylvia's was faster b/c it was a renewal. But definitely good to know that contacting congressperson can actually work!!
