Dr. Kelly April 9Th & Questions

[AZ Sunshine 17]

Hi there...long time lurker, first time poster!

I finally scheduled my surgery with Dr. Kelly. So far so good. Ana has coordinated my surgery and has answered my questions soooo fast.

My question is about a passport. I was so excited to schedule my surgery I completely forgot about a passport. Will I absolutely need one to go down there? I am not sure I can even get a rush one at this point.

I'll post my experience after my surgery.

I was told by my coordinator that I absolutely had to have a passport or a passport card. You can look on the passport website and call the customer service number and ask.

If you want to get home as easily as you crossed the boarder, yes! Get one asap! You will have to psy an expedite fee and send your app overnight

Thanks ladies! I'm going to day to apply for it just in case.

Ana did reply that I just needed my birth cert & ID. I guess i'll find out!

I didn't have mine. I was told also by my coordinator that I could just use my birth certificate. I crossed the boarder with my driver's license and my birth certificate. (the BC was the official one - that was embossed). I had no problems crossing back into the US.

Hello...I am in the same boat...April 9 with Dr. Kelly. I applied for my passport 2.5 weeks ago, and they obviously have my birth certificate. Hope to get it in time...I am going either way. Today I called the Department of State and paid $12.00 extra to have it overnighted...there was no option of putting a rush on it at this point.
