Hi There,

Does anybody know how to get rid of your old nationality passport when you become a US Citizen WITHOUT sending it to the Embassy?

Can you hand-in your passport when you attend the swearing ceremony to the judge and ask him to give you a receipt?

Is there any other way?


Thank You,

Shahrokh22

Why do you have to get rid of it? Why not just let it expire?

Don't think the judge'll be interested somehow.

Does your current nationality preclude dual citizenship?

Go to the Embassy (or send in your passport) of your birth and renounce your citizenship.

Hi:

My reaction is "why do you care?" I will say that the people at the swearing in don't care -- its not their problem.

So, the question comes up --"Why do you ask?"

Why do you wish to do that?

I can't think of any other way. The passport is the property of your native country's government, so if you don't plan on keeping it then you need to return it to them. The easiest way to do that is to send it to the Embassy.

Just curious - why do you want to avoid giving up your passport or citizenship the regular way that your embassy would require?

Maybe he is wanted by his government for some action that would demand his incarceration.

Flush it down the toilet
Put it in a mixer ...

Can't you just let it expire? Passport, that is...

Trash

Shredder

Or you could recycle?

Shahrokh,

Is there a (black) market for passports from your country?
Alternatively, maybe e-Bay.

Regards, JEff

Hi Everybody,

This is so surprising to me. Most of you people live in the states and some of you are US Citizen by birth and still you do not have any idea that one of the largest industries in the United States is the Defense Industry and in order to join it you need to surrender your passport (normally to your country of birth embassy) but you dont have to renounce your citizenship if you obtained it by birth.

My wife will have her Master of Science in Computer Information Systems in 7 months and hopefully she will have her Citizenship certificate by then and she will start looking for work in the defense industry (beginning with where I work).
She needs to surrender her passport but Iran's Embassy does not accept passports to be surrendered anymore. And we cannot let it expire, since it will take a long time.
We are looking for a way for my wife to get rid of her passport (and get a receipt from a legal authority) before she attends a job interview (before she has to fill out a security clearance form).

Can she surrender her passport to the judge at her swearing ceremony? Is there any other authority that she can surrender her passport to?

Write an affidavit that you put it through the shredder/flushed it down the toilet/burnt it in the barbecue/posted it to the embassy in Washington. Sign it with a witnessing notary.
