Your Passport

you mean use the aussie passport to enter and leave australia, right?
and the US passport to enter the US, right?

makes sense. shorter lines, no time limit on your stay.

why is this so stressful?

because everything to do with Immigration is always stressful, imo

I am dealing with country A -> use country A passport if you have it. I am so silly about travel. If I had two passports, they'd be labeled or buried in a pouch labeled by country

Luckily they are labelled by country on their front cover :)

some are blue, some are maroon, maybe there are other colors

feel like green could also be a passport color

I would like a red passport

the real question is why did i wait so long to renew my passport

everyone waits so long to renew their passport. you are not alone <3

this is probably true. otoh i have left this about as long as i could before i made it impossible to actually go on the trip that i have booked. despite the fact that i work about ten minutes from the consulate and have had a completed application sitting in my desk drawer for like a month oh well baring any extraordinary circumstances i should have my emergency passport tomorrow

it is annoying that it takes so gd long to get a non-emergency passport my bf got his in like two weeks w/o any rush stupid canadians

having it is the main thing, don't beat yourself up too much

trip-wise, where are you going?

Just got a new UK passport, I rather like the pastoral scenes and weather symbols. Very practical temperature conversion scale in the gutter margin as well.

I had my UK first adult passport interview today, quite odd. It felt like a mix between a conversation with someone who finds you inexplicably interesting and psychoanalysis. (Maybe that's also what psychoanalysis feels like.) Is this new? Whenever I mention it to people they're surprised that it's a thing.

Argh. I have to renew my (Canadian) passport. Apparently, they'll let me back in with an expired one, but getting back into the Land of the Free™ will be a challenge. It'll be my first time renewing it whilst outside of Canada. Anyone have experience with this?

Idk how hard canada is, but renewing my nz passport while in the US was way easier than expected (except I wanted to change it to my married name but that was gonna make it 10x harder).

Well, the biggest issue for me is if I can still claim my place in Canada as being my place of residence. Think I'll give the Canadian consulate a ring.
