Passport and Visa Information

Passports:

Many of you will be applying for your first passport. It is important for you to begin this process at your earliest convenience, ideally before January 2011 as the process can take a minimum of 4 weeks. So the earlier you apply the sooner we can take care of the paperwork with the home office in regards to passport information. This would include anyone that needs to renew a passport. A valid passport needs to valid up to six months after our program return date. Considering this I would say that if your passport is good until 2012 then you would not need to renew it.

Information regarding obtaining a U.S. passport is included in the Student Ambassador Protocol. The sooner you get started on this the better.

Probably the easiest place to get this done is the U.S. Post Office.

The following items will be needed when you apply for the passport:

  1. Proof of citizenship by having a previously issued W.S. Passport, Certified Birth Certificate, Naturalization Certificate, Certificate of Citizenship or Consular Report of Birth Abroad or Certification of Birth).
  2. Proof of Identification by having a valid driver's license, previously issued U.S. Passport, Naturalization Certificate, Current Government ID.....
  3. Money for cost of Passport - ________________
  4. For the European Discovery journey we will not need any visas.

We will discuss this at our social to clear up any questions, etc.
