Soon to expire passport: Okay to return to the US?
Thus spake "George Leppla" :
"Odysseus" wrote I never understood why one person's ninety year old birth certificate is proof of citizenship but another person's ten year old passport is not. Government regulations are seldom understandable.... or based in common sense. A few (okay, more than a few) years ago, I saw a bumper sticker: "It's the law, it doesn't have to make sense" -- dillon Could have been is in the past Could be is in the future There is only the now |

Soon to expire passport: Okay to return to the US?
Thus spake " Uncle Peter" :
You should check to see if passports are even required. Check with the cruise line and see if photo ID (drivers license) will do along with a voters reg. card. voter registration is not considered proof of citizenship. MEXICO - *Proof of citizenship such as original birth certificate, naturalization certificate or voters registration card and photo ID. Tourist card is required. Tourist card valid 3 months for single-entry up to 180 days, $20 fee, requires proof of U.S. citizenship, photo ID, and proof of sufficient funds. Visa not required of U.S. citizens for tourist/transit stay of up to 30 days. Obtain tourist cards in advance from Consulate, Tourism Office, and most airlines serving Mexico upon arrival. Departure tax $10 is paid at airport when not included in the cost of the airline ticket. Notarized consent from parent(s) required for children under age 18 traveling alone, with one parent, or in someone else's custody. For additional information, check with the Embassy of Mexico, 1911 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Washington, DC 20006 (202/736-1000) or nearest Consulate General: AZ (602/242-7398), CA (213/351-6800, 415/392-5554 and 619/231-8414), CO (303/331-1110), FL (305/716-4977), GA (404/266-1913), IL (312/855-1380), LA (504/522-3596), NY (212/689-0460), PR (809/764-0258) or TX (210/227-1085, 214/630-7341, 713/542-2300, 512/478-9031 and 915/533-4082).

Soon to expire passport: Okay to return to the US?
I boarded the NCL Jewel on 2/19/06 for a seven day cruise to the western
Caribbean. My passport expired on 2/23/06. I did not have any trouble boarding the ship or returning to the US with a passport that had expired in the interim. "Kurt Ullman" wrote in message ink.net... In article .com, "P Chu" wrote: My in-laws are going to a Mexico cruise in 3 weeks, and will return to the US in April. They couldn't locate their Naturalization Certificate so they have to use their passports. They found out that their passports are going to expire in June. We know that they will have no problem going to Mexico, but how about coming back to the US? I have been told, although no actual experience, that the airlines, cruise lines, etc. generally won't let you on the ship/plane unless your passport is good and will expire in more than 6 months. Now, how that works in real life with thousands tossing passports at people I don't know. You could probably get a renewal in that time span if you wanted to pay the big bucks. The option would be finding out if it is easier to get a copy of Naturalization certificate quicker (I doubt it, but that is an option. -- "Distracting a politician from governing is like distracting a bear from eating your baby." --PJ O'Rourke |
