Passports are obtained through the Passport Services Division of the Department of State. Through your local passport acceptance facility, usually at the Post Office, you can apply for a new passport, renew your old one, or do any of a number of things, including replacing a lost, stolen, or damaged passport, or adding new pages to your existing book. Take your court certified birth certificate, a passport application form, two passport photos, a photo ID and the applicable fees to your local passport acceptance facility. They will process your application and forward it to a passport agency. If you need emergency assistance processing a passport application, please contact my Dallas District Office to coordinate the steps you need to take to ensure the prompt processing of your application.

The New Passport Card

The Passport Card will be used only for land and sea travel between the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean. It is a less expensive, smaller alternative for those who travel to these destinations. It is important to know that the Passport Card cannot be used for international air travel. Passport Cards can be applied for via the DS-11 or DS-82 forms (if eligible) and will be adjudicated to the same standards as passport books. Like passport books, the Passport Card will be valid for 10 years for adults age 16 and above, and five years for those 15 and under. For additional information regarding the Passport Card, including fees, constituents should visit the Department of State website.

Traveling Overseas

Before your trip, you should check with the country or countries you'll be visiting to determine the foreign entry requirements and whether or not you will need a visa. A visa is permission from a country to enter their country and comes in the form of a stamp in your U.S. Passport. You usually have to mail your passport to the Embassy or Consulate of the country you'll be visiting. In planning your trip, allow for plenty of time for the country you are visiting to process your visa application. Also, check the State Department website for travel warning and consular information sheets that provide very helpful information about the country you plan on visiting. The State Department services website also contains very comprehensive information on all the services it provides both stateside and abroad. This includes crisis assistance for U.S. citizens living or traveling abroad, and various travel publications available on-line. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has a Traveler's Health website to help you stay healthy while traveling.
