Old passports

We got our renewals in the mail yesterday. My wife asked where are the
old ones. I said they were sent in with the renewal applications, and it
looks like they are not returned. She expressed disappointment as she
would have liked them for the stamps on them from foreign countries we
visited in the last 10 years as a keepsake. (Me too)

I don't suppose there is any way to get them back.

At least, they return your birth certificate when you first apply.

In the past we used to get the old one's back with a hole punched in them.

We renewed our passports during the big crunch when it took months to
get them back. We got our old ones back with holes punched in them.
Don't know why you didn't get yours back, maybe they will be in the mail
later on??

Today, I did get my old one back, with a hole punched in it. My wife did
not get hers. Perhaps, it will be in tomorrow's mail.

I haven't renewed since '04, but my wife and I got our old ones back. I
assumed everyone did. Like your wife, I wanted to save the old markings. I
hope somebody can guide you to recovery, but I suspect it could be
difficult.

We also got ours back a few days later. The surprising thing was it was sent
from a different state than the passport renewal was sent to.

My wife finally got hers back. My old one came May 1. Hers came today,
Both were postmarked as sent from New Hampshire. Hers was postmarked
April 29th. I suppose mine had the same postmark.

I guess mine came by regular mail, and hers by Pony Express. lol
