Any other parts of Europe?
I honestly don't know. What my student didn't do is research if they could've even entered the country with this type of Passport. It's clearly stated on the US Embassy in France website.
I'm curious, what do you teach? European history? I'm surprised your student didn't consult the state department's website. In college, we were told to always consult it when studying or vacationing abroad. It's a shame some people have to learn things the hard way.
I'm an Associate Professor of New Media which includes Mobile Media Studies, Internet Studies, and Social Media at the college level. I do, however, have a passionate love for European History and thus spend lots of time there (some of it for work).
Isn't Real ID only required for flying (in regards to travel)? You can drive, walk, bike, take a train, bus, taxi, and all the other ways to travel domestically without a Real ID.
I didn't realize that the process went back that far... I just got my REAL ID this year when I moved to another state... NJ (my former state) just started doing them in the last 2 years so I wouldn't have gotten mine til next year when my license expired.
They are almost exclusively used by US Embassies abroad to furnish a US citizen with a way to get back to the US legally (in the case of loss/theft/damage). I think they have a one year life before expiry. As the link above explains, they are also available in the event of a dire need to travel.
We didn't get that far in the brief conversation but I cannot fathom why she didn't have things in order.
I got my kid one when he was born and have renewed it regularly since. I couldn't agree more with you. It used to be that a rather small percentage of Americans carried passports but I think the number is somewhere near 65% now which is encouraging.
Maybe the school should make a general statement about issues when going abroad occur and how to prevent it in the future for other students going abroad?
She's an alum but it's something that I am incorporating into my work with my international programs office.
Partly because you need them (unless you have another form of acceptable id) to fly domestically now.
This says 56%: https://www.americancommunities.org... American adults,survey data from MRI-Simmons
That's really cool. I'm hoping to get a PHD in History in the future if my law school ambitions don't pan out. I'm still deciding which path I want to pursue more.
