Americans can now renew their passports online, bypassing a cumbersome mail-in paper application process that often caused delays. The State Department announced Wednesday that its online renewal system is now fully operational, after testing in pilot programs, and available to adult passport holders whose passport has expired within the past five years or will expire in the coming year. It is not available for the renewal of children’s passports, for first-time passport applicants for renewal applicants who live outside the United States or for expedited applications. “By offering this online alternative to the traditional paper application process, the Department is embracing digital transformation to offer the most efficient and convenient passport renewal experience possible,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement. The department said it estimated that about 5 million Americans would be able to use this service a year. In 2023, it processed 24 million passports, about 40% of which were renewals. After staffing shortages caused mainly by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in lengthy passport processing delays, the department ramped up hiring and introduced other technological improvements that have reduced wait times by about one-third over last year. It says most applications are now completed in far less than the advertised six weeks to eight weeks and the online renewal system is expected to further reduce that.

Anne Lister Italia latest article

But what exactly did Anne Lister and Ann Walker look like? We know it from their passport, the one with which they travelled on their honeymoon in 1834. Unfortunately, we have no portraits of Ann Walker so far, and all we know about her comes from Anne's journals. Of Anne, there are at least those few portraits that have survived (the most famous being the posthumous one hanging in Shibden Hall) and the more 'heartfelt' description by Edward O'Ferrall in his letter. You can find more about the identikit of Anne and Ann on our website, in the article that examines the entire passport. You can also find the link to the article on Edward O'Ferrall's letter in bio.

I would expect something like this from the US or Germany. Kinda surprised that Canada would pull this. Are people going to start burning old maps, books and almanacs? Israel has already done a great deal to destroy official Palestinian records. This is Canada's complicity in literally erasing an entire land and its people.

It's probably not a great idea to name kids after TV characters.

A woman was left "devastated" after her daughter's passport application was rejected because she was named after a Game of Thrones character. Lucy, 39, from Swindon in Wiltshire, said the Passport Office initially refused the application for Khaleesi, six. Officials said they were unable to issue a passport unless Warner Brothers gave permission because it owned the name's trademark. But the authority has since apologised for the error. "I was absolutely devastated, we were so looking forward to our first holiday together," Lucy said. After planning and saving up for a 'dream' trip to Disneyland Paris, Lucy, who works in Cirencester, applied for a passport for Khaleesi. "But then I had a letter come through from the Passport Office, saying her name is trademarked by Warner Brothers," she said. "It was the first I've heard of such a thing - I was astonished." After seeking legal advice, her solicitors discovered that while there is a trademark for Game of Thrones, it is for goods and services - but not for a person's name. "That information was sent to the Passport Office who said I would need a letter from Warner Brothers to confirm my daughter is able to use that name," she said.

This incident reminds me of a comment made by Peter Dinklage after the Game of Thrones series finale:

"I know a lot of people were supposedly surprised by the ending, but if you paid attention, the clues were there. We told you not to name your dog Khaleesi."

Why You Can't Smile In Passports 😐

Have you ever wondered why you are not allowed to smile in your passport photos, well the reason actually makes kind of sense. You see every passports has a micro chip inside it, that stores your biometric information, things like the distance from your nose to your chin or how wide your mouth is. So if you smiled in your passport photo these measurements would be skewed making it harder to confirm your identity.
