New Passport Regulations Effective Oct. 1st
September 28, 2007 | Permalink
Effective Oct. 1, 2007, U.S. Citizens traveling by air to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Bermuda must present a passport or other WHTI-compliant documentation to enter or depart from the United States. This ruling, officially enacted last January as part of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, was suspended after an overwhelming surge in passport applications. Unfortunately for any Road Warriors who were counting on this respite, once again you will have to be very mindful of longer wait times to receive a passport. However, it may be worth biting the bullet and going through this long process now because it’s only going to get longer. The good news is that you will probably only have to go through it once since the passport renewal process does not seem to be as affected by the back log.
