No Child Support Means No Passport
Sunday / June 06, 2010
The U.S. State Department reminds us that you cannot get a passport if you are too much behind in your child support.
From the U.S. State Department website:
If you owe $2,500 or more in child support, you are not eligible to receive a U.S. passport.
You should make arrangements to pay the state where child support is owed BEFORE you submit your application for a U.S. passport. All questions about your child support arrears or the status of a payment should be directed to the appropriate state child support enforcement agency.
Once payment is arranged, it may take 2-3 weeks before Passport Services is permitted to process your application.
