What You need to Travel Abroad.

Remember : A passport book is required for all international air travel.

If your passport is lost or stolen, you cannot use a passport card as a replacement. You will need to apply for a new passport, and you can conveniently report it as stolen on the application if you haven't already done so with the authorities.

U.S. passport books are valid for travel to most countries, though some may require a visa. Be sure to consult your travel advisor for specific entry requirements before traveling to your destination.

Note: Generally, you must renew your passport within five years of its expiration date. Renewal is typically quicker if the passport expired less than five years ago. If more than five years have passed, you'll need to follow the same process as a first-time applicant. Additionally, ensure that your passport has at least six months of validity at the time of travel, including your return date, when checking expiration and validity.
