Important Passport Info

The passage of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative requires all citizens of the United States to present a valid passport when entering the United States by air from Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda.  This includes:

• Children of any age, including children of Legal Permanent Residents who are United States citizens.

• Mexican citizens who have a Border Crossing Card (BCC) when entering the United States by air. (The BCC is still valid in lieu of a passport and visa for land border crossings within the border region.) The BCC may be used as a visa.

If you have not applied for a passport, visit the Department of State Passport webpage for information on the application process and to locate passport acceptance facilities in your area.  Please allow three to six months for processing, to accommodate the current backlog resulting from the increase in requests.

Due to longer than expected processing times for passport applications in the face of record-breaking demand, the federal government is making an accommodation for air and sea travel. 

U.S. citizens traveling to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda who have applied for but not yet received passports can temporarily enter and depart from the United States by air with a government issued photo identification and Department of State official proof of application for a passport through Sept. 30, 2007.

If you have applied for a passport and need assistance in contacting the Office of Passport Services, my office is available to help you.  Please contact any of my Florida offices with questions and for assistance in the passport application process.
