IluvmyLi Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 If I need to re-new my passport, do I lose my proof of the trips I took to China? Do they move the stamped pages over to the new passport? Thanks Link to comment
stacato Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 I think you get a totally new passport. Even if you don't , you can always make a notarized copy of the old one including all the pages inside. You may want to do it, just in case. Link to comment

I think having my fiance give the SO my passport with all the proof of my China trips has a stronger effect then just a notorized paper copy. Hopefully she will get the interview this year before it expires. Link to comment

Do they move the stamped pages over to the new passport? Thanks223418[/snapback]I renewed my passport in September, 2005. I did it through the mail, including mailing my old passport in. The old one was returned with two holes punched in the scannable portion and a "Cancelled" stamp across my signature. I would make a notarized copy anyway, in case it gets lost in the mail.

I wasn't in the biggest of hurries but I did pay for expedited service and regular mailing. I just googled "passport renewal" Go here: http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/renew/renew_833.html Link to comment

obxtrainman Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 I always thought the old passports were bragging rights on your travels It would be shame if they started keping the old ones. Link to comment

Thanks223418[/snapback]I think when you re-new your passport, you are issued a new passport, and the old passport will be returned to you with corner cut. I've seen people using a valid passport and an old passport with corner-cut. Link to comment
