Fun Pass question

[Firsttimescaredcruiser!]

When you fill out the passport information on the Funpass what do you put as the city of issuance/authority? I don't see anything listed inside the passport. Did it mean where we went to get our passport? I had it done at the post office. Are they talking about the city the post office is in or the address on the mailing envelope? I'm feeling kinda stupid...so be kind....please.

On your passport somewhere on the photo page, there will be a line that says issuing authority and it'll be something like

 

Passport Agency Boston

 

or something to that effect.

When DH and I got our passports three years ago it told you the city of issuance. For instance his was issued by the Charleston Passport Authority. Now our DD just got her passport last month and tells me there is no city on it, but that is says "US Department of State", so that is exactly what I put on the fun pass.

[Firsttimescaredcruiser!]

On the left hand side it says Authority(in three languages) then under it says

 

United States Department of State

USA (much larger)

 

 

Could this be it?

Ok...thank you ... that was why I was puzzled. This is what mine says.

 

THANK YOU!!!!

Oops! We used ours for the first time last year. For that cruise & this cruise coming up, I put the city where the post office we used was located. I didn't even think to look anywhere on the passport.

On my last cruise, I put the state my passport was issued in. Worked fine...no problems.

I doubt that the city of issuance is really a big deal. If the number is wrong or suspicious, they might need it to look up your info. The first time I put the city I got it in, this time I'm putting in US DEPT of State.

Yes, you look on passport (right hand side)

 

It will say Authority

 

Happy sailing!;)

Passport City

I was curious about this so I emailed the National Passport Information Center since Carnival asked for the city of issuance on their funpass registration form. Here's the reply for anyone interested in knowing. Let me know how you figured it out because I'm still not sure I'm reading it right

 

 

How To Determine Where The Passport Was Issued:

 

Each issuing office has a two-digit number code that is unique to that

facility. This code can be used to determine which office issued the

passport.

 

In order to find the place of issuance, look at the long row of

numbers and letters at the bottom of the data page. The eighth and ninth

digit places to the left of the less than (<) sign indicate the place of

issuance.

 

Here is a list of the issuing offices and their respective two-digit

codes:

 

 

 

Washington, D.C 01

 

Chicago 02

 

Los Angeles 03

 

Miami 04

 

San Francisco 05

 

Seattle 07

 

New Orleans 08,40

 

Philadelphia 09

 

Boston 10

 

New York 11

 

Honolulu 12

 

Houston 13

 

Connecticut 14

 

Colorado 17

 

National passport center 15,

20, 21, 22

 

Charleston passport center 30,

31
