beachsands Posted June 22, 2010 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I am filling out our applications for passports and was wondering about the address/info right below where it asks for your place of birth. (On the first page of the application). Do they want your address when you were born or your present address? I see they ask for your address again at the top of page 2, I thought this might be redundant but then it hit me maybe on page one they wanted the address at the time of birth. Thanks for your patience Joel :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msmayor Posted June 22, 2010 #2 Share Posted June 22, 2010 "Place of Birth" refers to the city, state and country you were born in. For example, I was born at an Air Force base in Clovis NM. When asked for my place of birth, I list: Clovis, NM USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your patience Joel :confused: I had the exact same question when we applied for our first ever passports this year. I had to call them to clarify and they advised me that this was the area for your current mailing address. The address area on page two is for your permanent address, which could be different than your mailing address. Can you imagine if they wanted the address where you lived when you were born? Wouldn't be many people with passports.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cb at sea Posted June 22, 2010 #4 Share Posted June 22, 2010 My "place of birth" was a hospital in a certain city.....my address is where I now live.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langley Cruisers Posted June 22, 2010 #5 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I had to call them to clarify and they advised me that this was the area for your current mailing address. How can "place of birth" be translated to mean "current mailing address"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treven Posted June 22, 2010 #6 Share Posted June 22, 2010 How can "place of birth" be translated to mean "current mailing address"? Perhaps the OP was born in the house she currently lives in? Snicker, snicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted June 22, 2010 #7 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Those are entirely separate boxes. Place of birth is where you were born (city, state, county) address is where you live, mailing address could be a P. O. Box or place of business. I know a few people, especially those that have their own businesses or are landlords, use P.O. boxes so customers can't find them cause you never know....

lady_cruiser Posted June 22, 2010 #8 Share Posted June 22, 2010 When I filled out my passport application, way back in 2005, I gave Southington, CT, as my place of birth and for my mailing address I gave my physical address in Louisiana where I am currently living. The application was not returned to me as being incomplete or having information in the wrong place. So I have to agree with most of the posters here that says "place of birth" is the city and state in which you were born and the address on page 2 is your current address where you reside.

colomom Posted June 22, 2010 #9 Share Posted June 22, 2010 How can "place of birth" be translated to mean "current mailing address"? Are you serious? :rolleyes: The OP asked I am filling out our applications for passports and was wondering about the address/info right below where it asks for your place of birth.

beachsands Posted June 22, 2010 Author #10 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Are you serious? :rolleyes: The OP asked After the place of birth it goes into the address SS# as well as email address. I sort of figured that my folks didn't have a email address in 1954. ROFL !! But there are no instructions concerning what address they want.

Langley Cruisers Posted June 22, 2010 #11 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Are you serious? :rolleyes: I actually was quite serious. My apologies - I misread the original question. Please don't give me the "rolling eyes" smilie. I made a mistake. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you are from South Louisiana. We are in Southwest Louisiana - Lake Charles. Are you close to us? Don't see many posters from our state on the boards, so was just a bit curious...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
