Passports: Your U.S. passport should be valid at least 6 months or longer beyond the dates of travel. Passport applications are available at most U.S. Post Offices, as well as at regional Passport Agencies. Travelers requiring visas, whether obtained in advance or locally upon arrival, should ensure that their passport has unstamped visa pages. Passport Cards are NOT acceptable for international air travel.
Adults (Age 18 and above): Passports are valid for 10 years from their issue date.
Teens (Age 16 or 17): Applicants must provide evidence that their parents are aware they are applying. Passports are valid for 10 years from their issue date.
Children (Age 16 and under): Both parents/guardians must give approval and be present at the time of application. Passports are valid for 5 years from the issue date.
REAL ID: U.S. citizens and residents traveling domestically, including on domestic flights, will be required to carry REAL ID-compliant identification.

Children and Teens (Age 17 and under), a REAL ID is not required when traveling domestically. Airline restrictions may apply.
Children/Teens (Age 17 and under): For domestic and international, a notarized letter of consent is required by most countries if a child is traveling with one or both parents/guardians. This letter must be written in English and contain full names of the non-travel parent/guardian, contact information for the non-traveling parents/guardians, travel dates, destination, purpose of travel and a clear statement granting permission for the child to travel. Additionally, most countries require parents/guardians to travel with a copy of the child’s birth certificate as additional evidence of the child’s and parent’s identities.
Double Entry/ Multiple Entry Visas: If your itinerary involves entering a country, leaving and then later re-entering the same country, you may require a double-entry or multiple entry visa. Be sure to describe your itinerary clearly when contacting a foreign consular representative.
Transit Visas: In most situations, you will not need a visa if you are only visiting a country on a connecting flight. This is usually the case for travelers who are not staying in the country for more than 12 hours and/or are not leaving the airport. However, a country may require you to obtain a transit visa depending on your citizenship and flight schedule. When checking the entry requirements for countries on your itinerary, be sure to include those you are transiting through as well.
