What do I write for "Departure Date, Attn, and App.#" on the envelope?

Question

I applied for a passport 3 weeks ago because I am traveling to Canada on June 6th. While waiting for it, I got a letter from the U.S. Department of State to make a copy of my California ID (because I sent my student ID and it wasn't enough). I make a copy of my ID and the letter they needed and want me to send it back to them with the envelope the attached inside the envelope with the letter they gave me. I'm ready to send it, but there's 3 lines I have to fill in which I don't know what stands for.

1. Departure Date (I'm assuming it's the day I am leaving?)
2. Attn (I honestly don't know what that means.)
3. App.# (My application number for my passport?)

Am I right about 1 and 3 and what is 2?

Answer 1

1. The date you are leaving according to the plane ticket. 2. ATTN: who you will send it to specifically Your letter has a signature on it, so use that name. 3. Application # The number at the top of the page of your application.



Write ATTN on the outside, lower left corner, and send it by certified letter with return receipt. You can send it for a specific person to sign it or whoever does that for incoming mail. I would use the person's name and have him to do the signing.



A registered letter is used in very special circumstances and means the letter is kept under lock and key at all times. You don't need that. There's no monetary value.
