methos54 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 How does one obtain a passport if full timing and no where near their home base. I am registered in Illinois with no plans of returning but I am considering starting a new residence in South Dakota. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yarome Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Seeing that it's Federal, I don't think it matters where you submit your passport application. I think most accepting agents will require a second ID along with your drivers license if you are applying out of your home state though. Try the State Dept's passport wizard to see what it says. You'll have to use your domicile ID and address for the application, but it can also be mailed to a separate mailing address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatsnext Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 If it's your first time for a passport then you must apply in person.

nana25k Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 You may apply anywhere. Ron applied fgor his in Ytexas and I renewed mine there even though we are domiciled in SD. You will use your legal address. If you are planning to change your legal domicile then you should do that first so that your passport shows your correct address. If you use your current Illinois Addy then you will need to change it to your new one. Make sure that you have all your correct documents needed when you appear to apply. You can get the list the give passport website.

LindaH Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 When we got our passports, we were domiciled in South Dakota, but got the passports through the post office in Blythe, CA. We got the passport cards and they do not show the address on them...perhaps the full passport does.

docj Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 We got the passport cards and they do not show the address on them...perhaps the full passport does. Passports have never had address information printed on them. There's a place where you can put such information but it's not required.

Yarome Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Passports have never had address information printed on them. There's a place where you can put such information but it's not required. X2. It's a convenience, if you choose, so that it can be returned to you if lost, but not for identification purposes. Tip: Use pencil so it's easy to update if you happen to move within the 10 year life of your passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindaH Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Which brings up another question that I was not able to find an answer to yesterday after an, albeit, brief search: How do you go about changing the address that was used when you first got the passport? Or is that really necessary? LindaH 2014 Winnebago Aspect 27K 2011 Kia Soul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that really necessary? It's not necessary. Your passport is used simply as proof of your identity and citizenship. Your mailing address makes no difference... although.. if you had a name change you would want to have it reissued. You can just do that through the mail or any passport office. It would follow the same process as renewing your passport, but remember that your old passport would have to be surrendered at the time you applied for an updated passport.

Clay L Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 My passports had a space to write your address. The instruction said to use pencil so it could be easily changed if you moved.

skp51443 Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 I'd think you'd want a current address in the passport and also with the issuer so that it could be returned to you if lost or they could contact you if there were issues. I sure don't find anything like that as an option here though: http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/passports.html http://travel.state.gov/content/passports/english/passports/services/correction.html First rule of computer consulting: Sell a customer a Linux computer and you'll eat for a day.

It is a convenience, but all of your information (drivers license, social, etc) is easily accessible using your passport number. Any official agency would have no difficultly accessing your most current particulars. All I'm familiar with when it comes to reissues is for lost, incorrect, or a name change. One little tidbit. If you DO have an error on your passport it's a good idea to get a reissue within the first year. If it's within the first year, the expiration date will be reset from the date of the reissue. If it's over one year, the original expiration date will stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
