Before visiting a foreign country, you should ensure that all your pre-travel concerns are addressed.

NOTICE: If you are considering a trip out of the country and need a passport, please allow 9 to 10 weeks for your application to be processed.  Even expedited passport applications will take 3 to 4 weeks to process.

Please be aware that new passport rules have recently gone into effect. Adults flying to Canada and Mexico now need a passport for travel.

As of June 1, 2009, the U.S. will implement the full requirements of the land and sea phase of the Western Hemisphere Transportation Initiative (WHTI) that requires all citizens entering the country at sea or land ports to have the proper documentation as approved by the Department of Homeland Security.
