It’s never too early to plan your next adventure

Planning ahead allows you more time to prepare, make the necessary reservations, buy all your necessities and reduce the overall stress of organizing a trip.

If your family plans to travel out of the country for the holidays, make sure to apply for your first-time passports or submit your application for passport renewal now.

Passport application processing times are 10 to 13 weeks for routine service and seven to nine weeks for expedited service, not including mailing time. We encourage travelers to check the expiration dates on their existing passports and leave time for renewals.
