Before visiting a foreign country, you should ensure that all your travel concerns are addressed. Here are a few of the most common questions my office receives that deal with passports:
How can I renew my existing passport?
If you already have a passport that is not damaged, was issued in the past 15 years, was received after your 16th birthday, and has your same name, you can apply for a passport renewal by mail.
For more information on renewing your passport, visit the Passport Renewal Page at the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs Website.
I can't wait for the estimated 8-11 week processing time for my application. Can I request an expedite?
Yes. For an additional fee, you can request expedited processing which takes an estimated 5-7 weeks.
For more information on expediting processing, visit the Expedited Service Page at the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs Website.
Be aware that your passport should be valid for at least six months after your return date and have two or more blank pages, depending on your destination. Otherwise, some countries may not let you enter.
