Passport Advice.......

DragonMage · 11-05-2001, 09:05 AM

I'm planning to head out to France the last day of November. I realized last night that I need a passport to do this!!!! I looked up some information online.

Does anyone here have experience/advice on the companies that expedite passports?

I'm looking at Passports&Visas.com, PassportExpress.com and EmergencyPassports.com

Are these companies reliable?

They charge a fee, but guarantee delivery of passport in about a week.

Hoi DM! [img]smile.gif[/img]
I had no idea you go to buisnesse for this.. We have to march down to the police and sit in a chair while a sternlooking woman takes an ugly photo of you and then charge you silly-lot of money for it! [img]smile.gif[/img]

When you have proven that you are you you get a passport with someone like you in the pass!

Er.. no real help eh??

Well good lucky! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well, hopefully they haven't changed the regulations in light of recent events here. But so far, it looks like there are two ways...

1. Submit forms the 'old-fashioned' way and wait 6 weeks or longer (NOPE!) or

2. Go through one of these companies, pay a bit more, and have them expedite the forms for me. *crosses fingers*

btw: Providing I get the passport in time and can come....would you maybe be able to work one more character into your game??? *meek smile*

Okay, I know what I have to do now to get the passport squared away.

btw: Ramon, dear, if you read this, check your PM. I need INFO!!!!

If anyone has ever used Passports & Visas.com (or any other company like this) to obtain a passport, please let me know how reputable they are. I think I'm going to have to chance it, but I'd like to know how they rate if anyone has used one of these companies.

Thanks guys. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Heehehehe You get all the slack you want because you sent me nice email [img]smile.gif[/img] Thanks [img]smile.gif[/img] Be safe on your trip and be aware that france used to have a really bad rep. for giving americans a hard time. (not that SOME americans didnt bring it on themselves) but there are groups out there that target U.S. types

Well DM & I don't need to worry about being hassled for being Americans because we will be under the protection of Moiraine & her family.. PLUS some very tough and kind gentlemen in the forms of Ramon, Wolfgir & Sir_Tainly! No worries here!

I'm so excited to see everyone there!!
