What's funny is that the FAST card is WHTI compliant, yet not "recognized" and my company wants me to get a passport, yet they wont pay for it.

I wont be getting one.

GFY.

FWIW, after the 2008 requirement, American citizens cannot be denied entry back into the US if they don't have a passport as long as they have some sort of valid US ID (drivers license, birth certificate, etc.). This comes from my ex-FIL, who is with the Department of Homeland Security (immigration division).

but how do they prove they are a citizen? ID is just ID, it's not proof of citizenship.

Usually you need government issued photo ID *AND* a birth certificate.

OK! Let me get it straight! So, everyone wants borders secure, but obtaining a simple piece of paper, seems to be too much? :roll:

I got my renewed passport in less than 4 weeks. I don't know what the big deal is. $12 for passport photos, $67 for the passport renewal fee, the cost of certified mail/return reciept and the few sheets of paper and ink used to print the downloadable paperwork. It took me longer to get my health insurance cards changed than it than it took to get my passport.
