Traveling Internationally Soon? Reminder About Passport Renewals
If you plan to travel internationally this summer or fall, take the time to make sure your passport is valid and up-to-date. Many countries require at least six months of validity beyond the dates of your trip. For instance, if you are traveling in June, your passport must be valid through December. Check the State Department website for country validity information before your trip as some airlines will not allow you to board if your passport expires in the near future.
Routine passport processing by the U.S. State Department is currently taking about 6-8 weeks, and expedited passport renewals take 2-3 weeks. However, these are averages, and additional delays can happen. If you have any questions or need assistance with passport processing, please reach out to my Metairie office at (504) 837-1259.
