Passport Information

Most countries require that your passport be valid for six months at your time of travel--there are some exceptions to that, so you should double check by visiting the U.S. State Department website:

REAL ID

For some time now, the TSA and Homeland Security have been working on standardizing ID requirements for domestic travel. Since all states have different forms of ID, it created a lot of disparities among those traveling domestically. Effective January 2018, passengers traveling domestically will need to provide a passport if they have a license from a state that is not real id compliant. For more information and to see where you stand, visit this website:

Vaccines 

There are some countries for which you should explore your vaccine options. If you’re concerned about exposure, you should look through the website for the Center for Disease Control and follow their recommendations:
