Passport Confusion Calms Down

Week of July 30, 2007

Stars and Stripes reports that after weeks of worrying about passport delays in the face of impending military moves, Yokota Air Base, Japan's passport office is getting back to normal. Passport applications that normally take six weeks began backing up there in late Spring because of a new policy requiring more air travelers entering America to carry a passport. When you get orders "permanent or temporary" to another country, find out immediately what you will need at the DoD's Electronic Foreign Clearance Guide webpage. Information about "official" and "no-fee" passports is available on the U.S. Department of State's Passport website.
