Sunshine Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 So my boss is taking me to a conference in North Carolina come November. However, he heard that workers related to the passport office are going on strike Sept. 1st??? This means I have to get my passport info. in before then. However, only being in Ottawa a few months I don't know any Guarantor's..... Do we know a Prof. Accountant, or any type of Guarantor that would sign for me? Any suggestions?

bradm Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 You can also do it without a guarantor, by filling out a "declaration in lieu of guarantor". There's a FAQ entry on how to do this. Aloha, Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im going home Donny Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Sunshine....you don't need a passport to get into the States. A drivers license will do it. For added comfort bring your Birth certificate and whatever little bits of I.D. eg.....health card,student.... Call the border but I'm sure License or License w/B.C. is good.......we're not the aliens their looking for anymore. :: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 One word...Dialtone...you know what I am talking about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Sunshine, I did what BradM suggested when it came to getting my passport. You go to see a Notary Public (mine was free) and he does a bit a background checking on you, asks you a few questions and voila! El stampo!

Sunshine Posted August 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Yeah I know you can get in with driver's license & B.C, I guess my boss just wants me to be covered all around. Thanks for all the advice...you guys are the best!! Dialtone?? hmmmmmmm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneMtn Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 A guarantor has to know you for two years or more, apart from being among the group that is qualified. BradM is correct, though, that you can get a Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor. You have to get the prescribed form, however, from the passport office. It used to be available on their website, but they have changed the format of the Stat Dec. and I have been told that it no longer appears online. Once you get that, you have to go and swear it in front of a notary. (I swear these all the time, so I'm not just making this up.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
