Passport Info
IMPORTANT:
Your passport must be valid for at least 3 months after the trip dates, in order to be accepted by Honduran immigration. If your passport expires within 3 months of the trip, you will need to get it renewed before the trip.
How to Get/Renew a Passport
1. Print a passport application.
- You need Adobe Acrobat to print the file.
- You can also get an application at the Post Office.
2. You will need to have a passport picture taken. Walgreens, Walmart, and some Kinkos provide this service.
3. Make sure you have someone else read over your application to make sure you have filled everything out correctly (I had an application rejected because I missed one of the signature lines!).
- If you are getting a passport for the first time, or are renewing a passport that was issued when you were under 16, you’ll need to sign it in front of a passport agent. Don’t sign it before you take it to them, they have to witness the signature.
4. Take your application to a passport Acceptance Facility
- Remember to take all the necessary ID (certified birth certificate – with the raised seal, Social Security Card, and Drivers License will do the trick. There are other options if you don’t have these).
- If you are getting a passport for the first time, or are renewing a passport that was issued when you were under 16, you’ll need to sign it in front of a passport agent. Don’t sign it before you take it to them, they have to witness the signature.
- Bring checks for the fees, written to the appropriate agencies.
5. Send in your application at least 2 months before the trip.
