September is Passport Awareness Month!
Passport Tips:
- Appy for your passport 6-9 months before expiration date or planned travel. Planning far in advance of your travel date can help avoid changes to travel plans and is less expensive than waiting. Please visit the Department of State website to view current estimated processing times.
- Check the passport validity requirements of the country you are visiting. Many countries require 6 months of passport validity. Visit the Department of State Destination page for more information.
- After you've applied for your passport, it's time to book your travel. Traveling can be stressful. Applying for your passport in advance of booking your travel can alleviate some of that stress and offer savings in application fees. If a family of four applies far enough in advance of travel to use routine processing, they will save almost $350.00 by not having to expedite the applications.
See the tabs below to find out more information about how to apply for your passport.
