A little additional info . . .

I did not read the entire thread (sorry), and if this is duplicate information, I apologize, but:

DH is going to Mexico on a business trip and was informed by a co-worker that he needed to 'register' his passport. So, I said 'what?' We take our passports on our cruises, he's been to Mexico for work once before, so what is this?

Well, his co-worker just received his passport and he apparently read all the documentation with it (thank goodness some people do!). Anyway, come to find out that it isn't mandatory that you do so, but you can register your passport.

It is a way for the American Consulate in the foreign country to be able to help you (God Forbid you need it) in case of an emergency while in their country!

So, here is a link to the State Department's specific site to register. It appears that you actually create a log in and password, but it IS the State Department's website.

Anyway, just thought I'd pass this on. At least read it and decide what you're going to do.
