Special Alert! Passport news!
On Sept. 29, Congress passed language to extend the deadline
for the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI). Here's
what the extension means for passport requirements for U.S. citizens:
WHAT'S THE SAME ...
Air Travel
Passport Deadline: Jan. 23, 2007
U.S. citizens will be required to have a valid passport for exiting and reentering
the United States starting Jan. 23, 2007 for all air travel.
WHAT'S CHANGED ...
Sea and Land Border Entry Ports
Passport/PASS Card Deadline: June 1, 2009
U.S. citizens traveling by sea and land within the Western Hemisphere - Caribbean,
Bermuda, Canada and Mexico - will be required to have a valid U.S. passport or
a yet-to-be-determined, new economical travel document known as a Passport Card
on or before June l, 2009.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE: Congress stipulated that the Departments of State and Homeland Security must meet seven criteria in developing and implementing the PASS card for sea and land ports of entry. If the seven criteria are met within the 17-month extension period, the implementation of WHTI becomes effective three months after the criteria is approved, or by June 1, 2009; whichever is earlier. In other words, the June 1, 2009 implementation date for WHTI may be moved back if the agencies can comply with the seven specifications set out by the Congress in the extension legislation.
The U.S. Department of State's Office of Passport Services reports that 70
million U.S. citizens now have passports. U.S. Passport Services is receiving
225,000-250,000 passport applications a week, which is up 60 percent from two
years ago.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO PROCESS A PASSPORT APPLICATION?
At this time, we are processing routine applications in less than four weeks
from the time of application. We are processing requests for expedited
service within three weeks.
