  • When your passport is approaching the 6 month mark, that is the time to renew it. 

  • Also, if you often travel, you might want to consider applying for a Jumbo passport, which has additional pages for passport stamps. This prevents you from having to renew it every few years when your blank pages run out. 

  • We also recommend keeping your passport in a safe place where it cannot be damaged, lost or stolen.

  • If your passport is water-damaged, defaced or torn, it may no longer be considered valid. Passport covers are great as they help prevent damage when your passport is in your bag or being handled.
