Travel Requirements, Made Simple

Your Passport

For most international travel, your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your return date and contain at least two blank pages.

If your passport is expiring soon, damaged, or missing pages, it’s best to renew early—even if your trip is months away.

• First-time passports

• Renewals

• Expedited processing

• Lost or damaged passports

• Child passports

REAL ID

Beginning May 7, 2025, U.S. travelers will need a REAL ID–compliant license (or another accepted form of ID, such as a passport) to board domestic flights.

If you’re unsure whether your ID qualifies, now is the time to check—DMV appointments and processing times can vary.
