Do I need a passport? Yes! You now need a passport to travel abroad, even to travel to Mexico and Canada.

How do I apply for a passport? Go to the federal government website to apply for a new Passport Book or Passport Card. The fee is $110 for a Passport Book (good for all forms of travel), $30 for Passport Card (good for only land or sea travel). Additional Processing fee of $25 for either one (if you wish to purchase BOTH the booklet and the card, only one processing fee is required). Apply early: it takes 3-6 weeks to get either the Passport Booklet or Passport Card. Expedited service takes 2-3 weeks, but costs substantially more. You may be able to apply for a Passport Card in person at the Western Passport Center in Tucson and receive it more quickly, but you need to make an appointment in advance and hours are limited.
