Some of us like to travel the country while others like to travel abroad. Traveling out of the country requires a few extra things and one of them is a passport.
Each person’s passport tells a story: Where they have been, what countries, how many countries, and how many times they have left the U.S.
Sanjeev Midha loves to take his family on lavish, multiple-month international vacations. Each year, he sets aside $150,000 to $250,000 just to travel the world. Clearly, money isn't an object for the owner of a technology company.
I began to wonder how many pages and stamps he has in his passport.
We tend to think about traveling and planning trips, but the size of our passports never seems to cross our mind. Only about one in every three Americans even has a passport, according to the U.S. State Department.
Midha has had to add a huge amount of pages to his, which at 96 pages, is considered one of the largest in the United States
"Each page was crowded, crowded, crowded. There were stamps, stamps, stamps. We travel as a family, a lot," he explained.
These vacations involve a lot more than sitting on a beach or getting on a cruise ship for a three-week trip in Australia
Now the question comes to play: How do I add pages to my passport? Easy. You can start by going to our site (ExpressPassport.com). Click on the “passport forms” link (http://www.expresspassport.com/Passport-Forms.asp). That page will show you the DS-4085 form. Once you apply for our service that is the form you will be filling out. Keep in mind that DS-4085 only applies for those whose passports have at least one year left of validity.
“But my passport expires in eight months.” That is no problem. All you have to do is apply for a passport renewal and request a “big book”. Your passport will then come with extra pages and ready for travel!
A passport renewal is very simple. The checklist of documents we will need contains a very small amount of things – Your expired passport (for proof of citizenship), two new passport photos, an authorization letter we send you by e-mail, and the DS-82 form that allows you to apply for the renewal. That is it!
If your passport has expired for over five years you will need to apply for a new passport. The checklist includes a few more items that are required. Here is a link to the checklists: http://www.expresspassport.com/helpful-links.asp.
The form you will need to apply for a new passport is the DS-11. Once you are done filling it out make sure you take it to the nearest post office or court house. An agent has to witness you signing the form – for security purposes – and he/she will also sign the form.
How close are you to traveling now? Very close! Just choose the delivery service that is best for you and your travel date. Example: If you choose the 3-4 business day service, you will receive your passport 3-4 business days from the day we receive your documents.
Do you travel a lot? Do you need to add more pages or get a new passport? Do you want a renewed passport? Maybe your passport has expired or it’s been lost.
So many things could happen in such a short amount of time. That’s why Express Passport is here. Our main purpose is to help and serve you with any passport needs you may have.
