is the information about where your father was born?
My fiance was supposed to call his dad last night, didn't do it.
He just put down where we're at now, columbus....he's like "it will be alright"
i told him it wouldn't be, it might take longer to get his passport or he may have to pay to have it shipped quicker.
Im hoping im wrong....but i have a bad feeling, what do you guys know?

oh, and the reason im kind of irritated is i just used my last vacation to take the day off of work to do the passport thing....his dads at work, he doesn't know the work number plus he's always on the road...his mom doesn't know either (they're divorced)

I don't know, but there are a number of people who don't know their dad much less where he was born, so I would assume it's not that important. Have you looked at his birth certificate? Mine shows my parents birthplace, but that may be a weird thing.
I'd say you are ok, but to double check, I'd call the passport office and ask them. Or when you are there, tell them that your husband's parents are divorced and he's estranged from his dad and doesn't know the birthplace. There have to be provisions for that in this day and age.

The reason they ask is to make sure that you are an American citizen and that your parents aren't from one of the countries on the US watch list. I doubt it will make a lot of difference but you do sign that what you have stated is true which would be illegal should they discover he's not from Columbus. I would call and ask how to make an amended application, find out where his Dad was born and fix the information. Otherwise, you could be sorry down the road.

My dad was born at a small clinic that hasn't existed for many decades & he never even had a birth certificate. My mom thinks she knows where he was born, but wasn't certain, so I don't know if the info I entered on my application was correct. I can't ask my dad becasue he has passed away.
Anyway, it took about 2wks longer for me to get my passport than my fiance, but I did finally get it. I don't know if it is due to my dad's info or what? Of course, they don't tell you why it was delivered late ~ lol :)
But I am sure it will be Ok. Look at how many kids don't know anything about their fathers ~ or their mothers for that matter. I can't imagine you would be denied a passport for not knowing a small bit of info like that. I'll keep my fingers crossed :)

My fiance guessed and told them that it was a guess because he doesn't know if his father is dead or alive at this point. The passport place and the people who did our wedding cert said it was fine because it was the best of his knowledge. Unfortunately with things like passport ANYTHING could hold them up- not just a mistake so you need to make sure you gave plenty of time to receive it!

The information needs to be ACCURATE! You may be able to find his birthplace listed on your fiance's birth certificate. It needs to be accurate as they run your info and some where in some bureau statistics his name is matched up to his father and his birth place as identification and then your fiance's name is not going to match up to the info already on file and your application will be denied and you can be charged for fraud cuz you signed stating that it was true and accurate information that you were providing on your passport application. Fraud on such apps is a federal offense! Just wait till you have all the accurate information...you may have to go to a local passport office in person and make a statement to them that you do not know your father's birth place and they might be able to waiver it and make you sign a statement of verification of you not having knowledge of such information. Good Luck!

They need to be accurate.
Does he REALLY want to mess with the hassle of getting it corrected if it gets sent back DENIED?
CYA and make sure every bit of information is accurate.
