darrell2000 Posted May 30, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 30, 2012 So I booked my first cruise a couple of weeks ago, and upon reading this forum decided to go ahead and pony up for a passport. While filling out the application, it asks for my parents place of birth. Do they want the city, state, or country of their birth? Any help greatly appreciated.

paul929207 Posted May 30, 2012 #2 Share Posted May 30, 2012 If US, I would put city and state. If no, just the country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natitude61 Posted June 1, 2012 #7 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Just as an FYI, you don't have to fill in that part... I wasn't sure what cities my parents were born in, so I left it blank -- no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmckim Posted June 1, 2012 #9 Share Posted June 1, 2012 As much info as you can. If you don't know the specifics, that should be OK. But you don't want any more reason to hold up your passport. It takes long enough as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted June 1, 2012 #10 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I agree. Try to fill it in assuming you have the information. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisin' Chick Posted June 1, 2012 #11 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I figure they mean the county and state (if born in the US) as it's usually the county that issues the birth certificates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted June 1, 2012 #12 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I figure they mean the county and state (if born in the US) as it's usually the county that issues the birth certificates. They really mean city not county. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
