In general, passports are valid if they have not expired. Do not let your passport expire while you are in the US. Below are instructions for renewing your passport and information on traveling with your passport.

Renewing Your Passport

  • Your passport should be valid at all times. If your passport is near expiration, please contact your country's embassy or consulate. They will give you instructions on how to renew your passport.
  • This process can take anywhere from 3-6 months, so please plan accordingly.

Traveling with Your Passport

  • Your passport must be valid for at least 6 more months at the time you re-enter the U.S.
  • Some countries have passport agreements with the U.S. which would allow you to enter with less than six months remaining on your passport. Contact ISSS for more information.
