Passport Information



Here is the latest information on PASSPORTS:

You should have at least six-month’s validity remaining on your passport whenever you travel abroad.

If not, YOU MAY NOT BE ADMITTED INTO THE COUNTRY. 

Check the expiration date on your passport carefully before traveling to Europe – especially children’s passports, which are valid five years, not 10 years like those issued to U.S. citizens aged 16 and older.

Carry your passport when traveling to another country in the Schengen area. Even if there is no border check at that time, officials may reinstate border controls without notice.

And remember, the Passport CARD you get for MEXICO is not enough. You need the full Passport Booklet Document. In the USA, it has a blue cover with pages inside to be stamped as you enter and exit each country.

XEROX your Passport - Do it now
We suggest you make a Xerox copy of your passport and carry it in a safe place apart from your money. An even better idea is to scan it and email it to yourself. This way, if you do lose your passport, it makes getting another much easier. 

Also, write down the customer service numbers for your credit card companies and keep those in your journal or email them to yourself. You can find small blank journals at any office supply store. They are very handy to keep your notes organized. Some have a pocket in the jacket where you can keep your passport and credit card info. 

I also have a Password Safe program that requires a password, where I keep such information on my phone.
