It would have been ugly Saturday morning at the airport had I not caught it And yet, she gets in the shopping trip, too. Here's my question - if the damned passport is still valid and not expired, why wouldn't it work? Does the expiration date NOT mean expiration? WTF?
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

Been that way as long as I can remember. There are expediting services that can turn them around pronto for a fee.

Leaving Sat Morning for St Martin and then Purto Rico and always use my Passport when traveling.

Typical government BS. Should be able to use a passport until it expires or the date is meaningless. ^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Government should be in charge of very little.

Just a heads up if you are going to be traveling international your travel must be complete 6 months before the actual expiration date on your passport.
Leaving for Mexico Saturday and just found out as I was confirming flights Deb's passport expires Oct 10. I asked here earlier and she didn't realize there was a specific date instead of a month.
Any ways just make sure your travel is complete a full 6 month before expiration.Actually renewing 7 months before your passport expires is prudent.
Deb now has the pleasure of rushing out to get a new passport photo,then driving to passport office in Buffalo for an 11am appointment and maybe a return trip tomorrow to pick up the new passport if not ready today So, I show up at SFO from HKG with my passport that expires in 5 mo, 29 days and DHS isn't going to let me in? Or is this a US air carrier thing?

In my experience it is the country to which you want to travel too that has the requirement.

The reason for the 6 month from expiring is that in some countries you can stay up to 6 months on a simple passport. It is to keep your passport from expiring while you are out of country.

Our local county clerk sends the applications to N'Awlins for expedited processing, turns around in about 5-7 days IIRC. Been a while since I had to do that. As I recall, the expedited processing fee was about a hundred bucks. Well worth it.

Correct. If you have a Passport agency near by you can save the big $ fees a processing agency will charge you. The fee from US Gov is $60 to expedite whether you express mail or show up in person Some how I was blamed for Deb's oversight,even though I asked her to check here passport for the 6 months.All I care about right now is fishing according to her! LMAO she is kind of correct about the fishing , I'd rather not be going and be fishing here,weather is finally breaking going to be in the 60's this weekend and 70 on Monday...I'll make the best of it and fish a day for sails and marlin and call it good

This wasn't about the passport; this was about her going shopping because you go fishing.

I just go down to the local Home Depot parking lot and talk to a guy named Julio. He can get me as many passports as I want.

Of course it's your fault. You're the guy with his nuts in a jar on her kitchen shelf, right? As for preferring fishin'... well, duh!

Doc I won't complain, I did alright when Deb found me in a large crowd downtown at a street festival.
She may wish she didn't pursue me now!
