pre-registration passport information

[HarperSays]

When completing the pre-registration information on Carnival's website, specifically our passport information, how would I find what the "City of Issuance/Authority" is for our passports? Would this be where we applied, or where our passports came from?

[Ali-in-Texas]

I entered where our passports were processed. It shows the city on the passport itself.

[HarperSays]

Thank you - do you know where exactly this information is located on our passports? I apologize for the stupid questions, but we looked our passports over and over last night and could not find this answer!

It doesn't always have a City name. It could say "Department of State" or "Passport Authority".

That will be on the same page where your name and address are.

[Ali-in-Texas]

On the page with your picture it says: Authority

and underneath that ours says: Charleston Passport Center

 

I just assumed this is the city they are asking for.

Our passports say "National Passport Center", with no additional city, so that's what I always indicate. It's never been an issue for us.

Mine said Issed in California, so I entered California.

I will check ours again tonight and put whatever it says, even if it does not indicate a city. Thanks everyone for your help!

I asked Carnival about this about a week ago and they said it is all handled by the department of State now and that is what should be entered. It seems older passports indicate a city while newer onces do not.

I just got my new passport and it doesnt have a specific city as a issuer...it says "dept of state"...so thats what i put on my funpass info and it went thru...

[cmiller229]

Mine just says Dept. of State and that is what I've always used.

[HarperSays]

Ours say Dept of State also, so that's what I'll go with. Thanks everyone!

[LemurCat]

Dept. of State works just fine.

 

There are 8 regional passport centers that issue documents. The issuing center used to be listed on the passport but it no longer is.

[corolla3tc]

My funpass accepted the city of the post office where I submitted my application. The field where that info is entered must not be too picky.

And I'm now tempted to start entering fictional places in that field ... :D

LOL. I always put the city where I sent it off from. I supposed you could put anything in there and get away with it.
