Passport Renewal

I guess it’s that time. KC needs to renew hers as she will travel this July to London with my friends,  Jane and Grace. How lucky can she be? This trip is their gift for her 18th bday. 

Josh’ will expire this April so we figured we might as well. 

As Josh is considered minor, my husband and I still need to be there and have to present his birth certificate. On the contrary, KC just needs her ID and her old passport as she is already 17. KC can also have a 10-year passport, but Josh will only have the 5-year one. 

As for Pherry, we need to make sure he can renew his when he gets home as he might travel for school soon. It’s probably easier as we are not needed anymore. 

I highly suggest you research before heading out to passport centers which are often in post offices. 

Trivia: my kids gained their American citizenship in different ways. Pherry got his upon legal entry to the US as a legal immigrant son of an American citizen. KC had an American passport since birth even though she was born in the Philippines as she takes from her dad’s citizenship. We had to travel to the US with me and Pherry having Philippine passport and KC with her US passport. Meanwhile, Josh brags about being the only “ real” American as he was born here in Boston. 

Anyway, as I was yet again late from leaving work even though I promised the kids I’d leave earlyas after all, they’re on winter break, KC texts me and said, it’s almost 4! Sabi ko, “nyemas, alas kuatro na, wala pa akong natatapos” sabay lagok sa kapeng malamig. Pwede na akong senior citizen walang ng Tito/Tita stage. 😂
