A passport is your worldwide indentification. If you are a USA citizen, you can get an application and instructions from your local post office.

Here in Jacksonville, we got ours at the Post Office! You have to fill out a form, etc. first. Go to: http://travel.state.gov/passport_easy.html for all the straight skinny.

The systems that are connected to the check engine light are so complex that it’s in your best interest to have a Technician look at it. You didn’t mention what year the Passport was, but it may still be covered under the manufacturers warranty. If not It may be to your benefit to take it to the Isuzu dealer as they work on them daily. We don’t see to many Passports at our shop, and tend to be a headache to work on because they are so different than Honda’s. Hope this helps.

I have a ‘95 Passport with 38,000 miles. Whenever I shift from first to second, second to third, and third to fourth, there is a hesitation. It’s almost like like the truck says "no" then decides to pick up speed. I use original parts from the dealership for tune-ups and recommended octane rating of 89. I am stumped, and so is the dealership. — Surf Usenet at home, on the road, and by email — always at Talkway. http://www.talkway.com

[looking for specs and mounting info for speaker system overhaul/upgrade] Well, you might try going from the other direction: that is, decide what speakers you want in the car and see if they fit. I know manufacturers often publish detailed specs of their stuff. For example, Morel and Dyne-audio have quite good specs (as I recall, it’s been almost a year since i was looking at their sites) available online. It almost sounds like you are in the "I want to know what speakers will fit before I choose brands, but I can’t get fitment info without choosing a specific brand" loop. Just choose some speakers you like and go for it.

Applications for US passports can be found in any federal office building, including post offices.

You could go to England, that’s quite nice and has good beer although it’s expensive. (Don’t go anywhere else in Europe, they can’t speak English.) Or if you are a US citizen, you could go to Hawaii, which has the advantage that it is definitely overseas (which fulfils your sudden need to go overseas)—-but you don’t need a passport, only a Visa! On the other hand, Mexico is not overseas but you need a passport. Very confusing.
Response:
Last I knew, US citizens didn’t need passports to go to Mexico. I certainly didn’t when I went, nor did the people who went with me. Same thing going to Canada. Chris Barrera

You can download the forms from the internet, if you are American. For people without internet, I believe the US Post Office can handle it.
Response:
Most U.S.Post Offices have the form you need. Call ahead to see if your P.O. branch handles passports & the hours they process passport info. You need 2 identical photos of yourself, 2inch X 2 inch. If paying by check, bring 2, you’ll need them. The fee is $60 total for a 10yr PP if 16 years old or above. 5yr for under 16yo. Process time is approx 6 weeks but can be expedited for an extra $35. If married & or divorced have marriage & or divorce dates and her name, if you can remember it. . – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> I need to go overseas, but, I need a passport.

You need a Visa to go to Hawaii if you are an American? Don’t they accept Mastercard?? I remember reading in a British music magazine a few years ago about a UK band that was playing a few dates in HI. They were shocked to find out that HI was part of the US. And in yet another UK publication I read an interview with that Alaskan singer "Jewel". She was asked the question, "What was it like growing up in the Canadian wilderness?" Eric

I hope you have a few weeks. Summer is peak processing time and it can easily take a month or more. Start at http://travel.state.gov, look for the Passport link. When you have the required documents and photos, head over to your nearest post office that handles passport apps (not all do and not at all hours) and go from there…

I’m sailing Princess circle Hawaii in March 2004, my paperwork from Princess says that a passport is required. No exceptions. ~ Patty
Response:
Although a passport is not necessary if you are not stopping at any foreign ports, you will find it MOST convenient to use. I would recommend it to anyone who travels anywhere. It is probably the best ID you can get. ~~DORIS~~ Grand Princess___9/14/03 Horizon___12/8/03 ASIA ON A 4 MASTED SCHOONER <a href=http://community-2.webtv.net/happypupsmom>OURJOURNEYTO/a> TAHITI <a href=http://community-2.webtv.net/happypupsdad/PASSAGETOPARADISE/

I am cruising to Hawaii on Celebrity’s Infinity dec of 2004. The travel agent said that because Hawaii is part of the United States I don’t need a passport. A paper that arrived from this same agency states that on cruises to Hawaii a passport is necessary. If anyone has cuises from San Diego to Hawaii recently can you tell me if you needed a passport or was a birth certificate with a raised seal and a photo ID enough. Thanks
Response:
You have plenty of time to get a passport if you don’t already have one, and it’s easily the best travel deal out there, good for nine and a half years (ten to go to some countries) and costs less then $100. That’s less then a dollar a month, less then 25 cents a week. That’s a deal that can’t be beat. You will never ask the question I have a passport, but do I need my birth certificate instead? You know your passport will be good where ever you need it.

Yes, but it’s not a US-flagged ship, so it’s going to have to go to a foreign country, in this case Mexico. Technically, it’s not required, but it’s never a bad idea. > If anyone has cuises from San Diego to Hawaii recently can you tell me > if you needed a passport or was a birth certificate with a raised seal and a > photo ID enough.
It’s not because it’s Hawaii that they’re recommending it. It’s for the foreign port. — _Deirdre http://deirdre.net "Dogs may have kept us company on the hunt, but it was the cats who insisted we invent houses and discover fire." — Khiem Tran

Hi All: Something does not make sense, I renew my passport before everyone else in my family. The cashed my check before everyone. My wife, her sister & mom and my daughter have to apply not renew but all of them already got passports less than 3 weeks. Only me and my son (he apply the same day with my wife & he is only 15) still do not get it. I was told the renew should be faster !!! Is there possible since we are man/boy so it takes longer? Thanks Hai

Hello Hai, Just guessing, but probably because new passports and renewals are handled by different departments. They may have had more renewals to handle than new passports, resulting in yours taking a little longer. I’m sure yours will arrive soon. Let us know how things work out. Good Luck! –Jean

Hai, I am sure you will receive your passport in no time. Like Jean said, a different department handles passport renewals. When is your next cruise, Hai?

Hai, To give you some measurement, I just today (4/15) received my renewed passport. I sent the application in via registered mail (slower than normal) on 3/12. So, it took just about 4 week for the renewal. Hope you’ve gotten yours by now. Lakeside
