US Government Shuts Down Passport Applications Site

- CalRobert 2y agoAlso a challenge for us citizens living abroad who need to keep their passports valid
- ANewFormation 2y agoThe forms are still available: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-apply/forms.html https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/how-app... Looks like this affects the online form filler. But there was never any online renewal - the form filler just filled out a pdf with what you gave it that you then needed to print and mail anyhow while also jumping through any hoops your local consulate (who does the processing) also requires.
- SavageBeast 2y agoFor those stateside you can still do this in a local office apparently. Not ideal but its not as if passport issuance has been suspended. The site is under maintenance to remove modifications made for more than 2 genders according to a quick search. Medicaid payment's were down for a few days last week too. Not ideal by any means but far from world ending.
- BoredPositron 2y agoIf you try to play something down always ask yourself „Was it necessary?“. Was it necessary to shutdown these systems down to change some gender selections?
