Several years ago my boss and I each had our passport pages supplemented when we left the books with the U.S. Consulate in Toronto on Simcoe Street over a weekend, about this time of year.
Anyone know for certain this practice has been discontinued?
***Whenever I search for "adding pages" I see an inconsistent use of the term "adding VISA pages" and "adding pages"--without the use of the term "VISA." And, always, there is no mention of the drop-off and re-claim service I mention above. What's what? TIA

I was able to get pages added in Toronto in one day. Dropped off in the morning and picked up in the afternoon. This did not come without tremendous attitude on the part of the consulate and polite determination on my part.

Adding pages for US$82?
It is true and many embassy/consulate web pages stats that no more then 3 times.
US$ 82 for 24 pages or US$ 110 for new 48 pages passport? I think I will go for new one.

My son turning in (renewing) a 48 page passport with 2 sets of additional pages asked for a 48 page passport and received a 24 page passport. YMMV/

seasky, was this in the last 6 weeks?
