NEW PASSPORT REQUIREMENTS FOR US CITIZENS
The US State Department will be implementing new rules for travel to/from the United States and international destinations over the next couple of years. Please be sure to read over the below information carefully. The new rules will be phased in beginning December 31, 2006.
Here's a link that explains how to apply for or renew a U.S. passport: http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_1738.html
DOCUMENTATION FOR INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL FOR US CITIZENS
By January 1, 2007, all traveling Americans returning to the United States will be required to have a valid U.S. Passport. The new rules will be phased-in as early as January 2007.
A valid U.S. Passport will be required for U.S. Citizens who travel by air and sea to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Central and South America, Canada and Mexico. Subsequently, Passports or other accepted travel documents will also be required for U.S. land border crossings to and from Canada or Mexico. Without a Passport, you will not be able to travel outside of the U.S. - including cruise travel. In addition, after the implementation date, cruise vacationers who arrive at the Port to embark on a cruise without a valid Passport, will not be permitted to board the ship.
Important reasons to get your Passport now:
~ Avoid the rush and the possibility of not being able to travel where and when you wish without a passport.
~ Future travel to the Caribbean, Bermuda, Central and South America, Canada and Mexico will require a passport to re-enter the U.S.
~ A Passport can open the doors to travel you may not have considered before, such as travel to Europe, Australia and Asia. And a Passport will also be required to visit our neighbor countries of Canada and Mexico.
~ Considering that a Passport is valid for ten years, the cost is minimal ($97 for a new Passport and $67 for a renewal). If you take two vacations per year, the initial cost of your passport per vacation is less than a frozen drink with an umbrella at the pool.
~ Even with a confirmed booking for travel abroad, you will be denied boarding if you do not possess a valid Passport.
And finally, a U.S. Passport is easy to obtain by visiting one of the 6,000 Passport acceptance facilities across the U.S.
