Travel Tip of the Month: Check Your Passport
Before planning your next international trip, check your passport:
- Is it valid for at least six months past your travel dates?
- Does it have two or more blank pages?
- Is it free of torn or damaged pages?
If you answered no to the first two—or yes to the last one—it’s time to renew. Don’t wait until the last minute!
