my us passport expired i went to the us embassy paid the fee to get a new passport filled out all the legal papers handed my old expired passport and was told that i would recieve my new passport in about 15 days well all went right reicived my new passport in exactly 15 days but the problem is on my new passport says place of birth dom.rep how could the us make a dumb and stupid mistake my place of birth is n.y.usa. they had my expired passport with all the paper work that i filled ouy know what go and spend all fu@$^% DAY to corect a mistake that was not mine.
I think that it might be a bit premature to judge the embassy without having some idea about how the mistake happened. The fundamental issue is that the processing is done by human beings who atimes make mistakes,loose focus atimes,loose concentration atimes and once a while, things will slip through the cracks and mistakes will happen. Unless you have information that this occurs regularly or perhaps you expect a 100% accuracy rate, your case may just be between the 1-2% errors that probably occurs ( I make mistakes at work/in my daily life atimes and I think a 1-2% error rate is okay).
Doctors/hospitals have been known to make careless mistakes that have resulted in death/incapacitation. Detectives have been known to make mistakes that put innocent behind bars or to the gas chamber so this mistake really is no big deal. The major issue is that other than for informational purposes, the accuracy of the place of birth on a passport really serves little functionality. Obviously you want to correct the mistake but if it is a mistake that they are willing to correct quickly and efficiently, then all is still okay but I really am not sure what difference it would make if you left it as it is especially since the birth certificate is usually the proof of place of birth.
I read that Oprah Winfrey was actually named Orpah Winfrey but the hospital made a mistake on her birth certificate and her parents decided not to change it. Now imagine if your name is spelled wrong on your passport and compare that to your place of birth.
