Passport Delays
Are you planning on traveling internationally over the next 6 months?
As Americans seek to travel overseas again and foreign governments loosen their travel restrictions, many are running into a critical problem: expired passports. But with many trying to renew their passports, a crush of passport applications have overwhelmed the State Department’s 26 passport agencies across the country, creating a backlog of applications. Make sure you are prepared by renewing your passport ahead of schedule.
DON'T DELAY!
Passports and Passport renewals can take up to 6 months processing time, due to the backlog of applications during the pandemic.
Passports need to be renewed 6 months prior to the expiration date (so check your passport expiration date well in advance of your trip!)
