Some countries require that your passport be valid at least six months beyond the dates of your trip. Some airlines will not let you board if this requirement is not met.
If you were age 16 or older when we issued your passport, your passport is valid for 10 years.
If you were under 16 when we issued your passport, your passport is valid for 5 years.
Find the Issue Date of your passport on the data page of your passport book or on the front of your passport card.
Check our Country Information to learn about requirements for the country in which you are traveling.
After you apply for your new passport, you cannot use your old passport for travel. If you have a visa in your old passport that you need for travel, check with the foreign embassy or consulate that issued the visa to see if you can still use it.
The Department of Homeland Security's Trusted Traveler programs speed up processing at U.S. airports and international borders.
Update your Trusted Traveler account information with your new passport number, the date we issued it, and the date it will expire. If you are changing your name or gender, you must go to a Global Entry Enrollment Center. A U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer will make the changes for you.
