Passports
Passport Information
The State Department recommends those planning to travel outside of the country should factor in six (6) weeks to obtain a passport through standard processing and three (3) weeks if the request is made for expedited service. Though we are limited in what we can do under the current situation, please know that our office will do everything it can in order to assist you in this matter.
Adults who have applied for but not yet received a passport should present government-issued photo identification and an official proof of application from the U.S. Department of State. Children under the age of 16 traveling with their parents or legal guardian will be permitted to travel with the child’s proof of application. Travelers who have not applied for a passport should not expect to be accommodated. U.S. Citizens with pending passport applications can obtain proof of application at: http://travel.state.gov/passport/get/status/status_2567.html.
This accommodation does not affect entry requirements to other countries. Americans traveling to a country that requires passports must still present those documents.
Please note that all persons traveling to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda are required to present a valid passport.
Pre-screened travelers entering the United States and Canada can expedite processing through The U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s NEXUS program.
