Passport to Europe

manganimefan227 · (#1 (**permalink**))

I'm going to Europe in the summer with People to People and I want to know if I need to go with my mother to get the actual passport or registering I think. Help is appreciated!!

i went on a p2p excursion to europe... make sure you expedite the passport if you're only applying now
i think if you are under 16 you'll need the consent of BOTH your legal guardian's to acquire one
under 18 just requires one i think

just go to the us dept. of state site

We know about the expedite and my mother got the official note from my dad to get the passport without him, Do I still need to go with her?

just a though... i doubt that someone who is not versatile enough to A. think to go to the official us dept of state .gov site ; or B. use some common sense should be going abroad to foreign countries... what would you do if you got lost? or hassled by locals?
you need street smarts. -
one piece of advise, don't be a nancy about bargaining over there... every single vendor you go to, bargain the price down. I picked up a couple of fake LV bags (good fakes.. looked like the ones you can pick up from hong kong.. and those are identical to the originals) from a vendor for 10 E .. originally he was pricing them at 40 E. I just said "Not paying over 10" (in french of course) and he sold them to me. be firm. let them know you're willing to walk at any time.

Where exactly are you going anyway?

Europe is a continent, not so much a country...

I should know, I live there...

I'm just asking if I need to come with my mother to register for a passport.

But if you must know to answer this, England, Belguim, Netherlands, Switzerland, and France.

I mustn't, but would like to. If you're gonna hit the Netherlands, maybe you could swing by one of the conventios. In Summer, there's two right now.

If you are under 18 you will need to go with your mother; minors cannot sign legal documents, contracts, etc without the consent/presence of their parents or official guardians.

She would be going, I was wondering if I need to go with her. For now I'll assume yes, Thank you all for the advice!
