We decided to get passports for the kids (age 10 and 13) back in Feb. since we do plan on traveling overseas in the next few years. We had the passports in 2 weeks.
My DW and I have passports that I accidentially put in the wash. We have travelled with them without any problems until this past May. Mine is hard to read but we have been on 6 cruises with them in this condition. I did carry the certified birth certificates just in case because I did not want to chance being left on the pier.
We decided to just get the new ones now to avoid any problems on our upcoming vacations. On 6/15 we applied for our new passports at the post office. We had to bring them with us in addition to our long form birth certificates. On 6/21/08 our new passports arrived. It only took 1 week, we expected 4-6 weeks.
All of our passports will stay out of the laundry!
