Tips And New Information About Passports

01/17/2011

1 Comment

 
New passport fees for the U.S. Passport Book, the U.S. Passport Card, and other passport services went into effect on Tuesday, July 13, 2010.

Use of Passport Fees

Passport application fees are not only used to cover the costs of producing a U.S. Passport Book or Passport Card. Passport fees also cover the costs of providing emergency services for American citizens overseas in crisis situations, such as the current earthquake disaster in Haiti, helping Americans who have been the victims of crime while traveling or living abroad, and providing support to the families of American citizens who have died overseas.

Passport application fees enable us to keep up with technology and implement fraud prevention initiatives to protect the United States passport. The security features of the U.S. passport book have received high praise from document security specialists the world over. Investing in new technology to prevent passport fraud is one of our key priorities, and an ongoing initiative.

Passport fees fund the expansion of passport infrastructure and service, allowing us to offer more timely service to the traveling public, maintain high standards for adjudication in accordance with US citizenship laws, and provide appropriate attention to fraud vulnerabilities.

Over the last few years, the demand for passports has increased to an average of 15 million per year. In FY 2005, we issued 10.1 million passports; peaked at 18.4 million in FY 2007; and expect to issue over 15 million in FY 2010. To increase our presence in underserved areas, the Department has undertaken a systematic expansion of the passport network, particularly in communities affected by the land border-crossing requirements associated with the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. By the end of FY 2010, we will have 23 agencies providing emergency passport services to the general public, three high-volume application processing centers, and two large-scale document print centers.

Value of the Passport

The U.S. Passport Book and U.S. Passport Card for adults are valid for ten years. Passports for minors under age 16 are valid for five years. The U.S. Passport is not just used for travel anymore. It serves as proof of U.S. citizenship and identity for important purposes such as work authorization and eligibility for many Federal benefits.

Gunilla and Debbie have spent the last 2 weeks on a fantastic trip cruising New England and Canadian destinations. This was an opportunity for our agency to check out a specific cruise to recommend to our clients. They had a great time, discovered and fell in love with new places, and enjoyed everything from the delicious food to charming cities. The voyage began in Montreal, Canada and made stops in Quebec City, Canada - Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada - Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada - Bar Harbor, Maine - Boston, Massachusetts - Newport, Rhode Island and then arrived in New York City for their final destination. It was a beautiful and exciting trip. If you're interested in learning more about this Crystal Cruise, please contact Gunilla or Debbie. They would love to share their experiences and information with you!
