Let me inform all of you what a hassle this is. I am going through the process of getting a passport and the rules have change in the ten years from getting my previous one. I need to present all of my marriage licenses and divorces decrees and they need to be certified. Wasted time and money, it will cost well over $300.00 for this, welcome to the Brave New World run by idiots. To think women with name changes will need to go through this simply to cast a vote.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
