NY Times: Your Passport May Be in the Mail
![](/congress110th/20081217010228im_/http://wilson.house.gov/Media/Images/PassportProblems2.jpg) If you’re traveling to Mexico, Canada, or the Caribbean AFTER October 1, 2007, remember that the new passport rules will then be back in effect. You will need a passport to travel at that time, so plan accordingly.
Status check: If you`ve already applied for your passport, check the status here.
To check the status of your application online you will need:
- Your last name, including suffixes without punctuations except the hyphen, (for example: Jones III, Patton Jr, Jackson-Smith, O Brien, Mc Queen, Varela Garcia),
- Date of birth in the following format: MM/DD/YYYY, and
- The last four digits of your Social Security Number.
