Quick turnaround time

The US Embassy in Copenhagen ROCKS!

Empty pages in my passport book were pretty scarce and it was taking border control agents long and longer to flip through to find an open space for the entry/exit stamp. And, as they flipped, they would look...ooooooh, a Danish visa....what's this a China visa.

So, it was time to figure out how to add pages to my book.

I sent my passport in on Monday, August 3. I had my passport back, in my hands, on Friday, August 7. Seriously. Five, count them, five days including travel time.

Let the trip-booking begin!

The problem with traveling alot - a shortage of passport pages

One of the drawbacks of traveling a lot, is lots of passport stamps and not enough pages!

I'm down to two full pages that are empty and maybe two or three spaces open.

While I was in the US, I was going to quickly send in my passport and request additional pages. It's a good thing I looked at the processing time. It is currently taking 4-6 weeks!!! Oh.my.goodness.

I could pay $60 to expedite, but even that will take 2-3 weeks and I only had 3 weeks in the US, so that's a no-go.

My final option is to send it to the US Embassy in Denmark where it will take 10 days. The problem is finding a 2 week period where I am going to stay put in Denmark and not need the passport!
