Prepare for Summer Travel
Summer is here- let the vacations begin! But first, be sure that your
travel documents are up-to-date. If your passport will expire within the
next six months, renew early to allow for ample processing time.
Beginning June 1, 2009, U.S. citizens entering the United States at sea
or land ports will need a passport, passport card, or other travel
document approved by the Department of Homeland Security when entering
the U.S. from a region within the Western Hemisphere (Canada, Mexico,
Bermuda or the Caribbean region). The new requirements are part of the
land and sea phase of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative.
