It's a game changer for international travelers. The State Department is now allowing online passport renewals from the comfort of your home. MORE: abc7.com/post/...
11 years ago, I was robbed and lost my ID, but I still had a recently expired passport. Without a current ID, I could not get a driver's license in WA and I could not fly home. I was from Hawaii and they will not send replacement driver's licenses out of state. So, I went to the local passport office. The passport office required that I appear before a judge with witnesses to testify that I was who I said I was. Makes me wonder how undocumented immigrants get driver's licenses and other documents when citizens cannot without jumping through big hoops.

I used to work at the DMV. Illegals would provide their real passport, driver license, birth certificate, etc. The state would rather give them IDs and that they have passed driver's test and have car insurance if they're going to be driving. You would think they would be reported to INS or whatever it's called now, but no...that's the govt for you. If they tried to use fake IDs, they were flagged for fraud and would have a hell of a process proving their identity for every renewal.

I did this a couple months ago. The hardest part was getting a good enough photo with my phone. After that, I got my new passport in a little over a week. It's an absolute game changer. One thing that wasn't mentioned in the view, so I don't know if it changed recently, but when I did it, there were limited slots available. So, you had to log on at a certain time and grab an application slot. It wasn't difficult though as I got a slot the first time that I tried.

So exempt visa countries if they add this ETA means that there is no longer exempt visa in their country without your ETA visa now. So I think my days are over for traveling, so I will no longer need a passport. Plus I don't have a smartphone to do all of this stuff online and will just give up even trying to travel.
