I'm curious to know why you need that now - I thought the new passport rules didn't start till December. Where exactly are you going? I'm curious because I had no idea that you have to have anything like that and my children's father and I are divorce and we haven't seen him in 3 years - he's what you call a total "dead beat dad". Do I need to bring court papers with me or just a notarized letter stating the fact of we don't know he's whereabouts?

We are leaving in Oct. on the Conquest - going to Caymans, Mexico & Jamaica and I understood that all I needed was the orginial birth certificate as their ids.
