Tips

  • A passport book filled with lots of stamps from traveling around the world.
    • Have your required documents sent to you now if you don’t already have them! This may involve contacting the health department where you were born to purchase an “original” birth certificate.
    • Passports expire in 10 years (for adults).
    • Some countries require that your passport be valid for a period of time before (or after) you travel there. Always look up the specific requirements before you book your travel.
    • When traveling (particularly on a cruise) do not let them stamp your book as a souvenir. This invalidates your passport for travel.
