Passport Pass
01/Jul/2007 09:01 PM | Travel News
If you've been waiting to get your passport for your
summer travels, you may be okay after all.
The TSA has announced that they are making an exception to the deadline requiring passports for air travel to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and Bermuda. If you've applied, but not yet received your passport, you can still use a government-issued photo ID along with official proof of your passport application. This applies through Sept. 30, 2007. The TSA really had no choice with this ... the State Department has been completely slammed with all the applications they've received these past few months, and the wait is up to three months or more. Note the key is that you must have already applied, and can't just have the intention of applying for a passport.
