We want to make sure you get your application right the first time by avoiding these five most common mistakes:
Know how long it will take to get your passport, and consider that mailing times are not included in our processing times.
Get a new passport at least 6-9 months before your current one expires, or ahead of planned travel.
Find entry requirements for the country or countries you plan to visit. Many countries require at least 6 months of passport validity to enter.
