Passport times can change overnight. I know people who had to travel to a city several hours away & pay higher fees to get a passport. Some companies offer expedited service for $400 and up per passport.
My daughter, my wife, and I all used the online passport renewal. My daughter and my wife both received their new passports in about a week. My old passport was expired, but I received my new one in about four weeks. It’s a great option.
FYI the passport photo you submit online absolutely can be a selfie. I just renewed & that's what I did 😂. You just have to make sure it meets all the other requirements.
Great information!!! I would like to remind everybody that airpline staff are severely overworked and underpaid. It takes 2 seconds to smile, say please or thank you, etc. When we travel, I always make goody bags for the pilots and attendants with candy, chocolate, Chapstick, etc. and a hand-written note that says thank you or have a great day, or you are a rockstar, just a little encouragement.

Recently renewed my passport online, and received the new passbook in exactly thirty days from submission. The most time consuming aspect was me instructing my wife on how she should take my iPhone picture. Very happy with the online renewal process.
Regarding the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS), travelers who are citizens of visa-exempt countries will need to have this authorization before they will be allowed into EU countries that require it for short-term stays (up to 90 days). It is only good for short-term stays. There are 30 countries in the EU that require visa-exempt travelers to have the ETIAS travel authorization. It will be linked to their passport. There are a few exceptions to needing the ETIAS authorization, and people will need to check to see if any would apply to them. The ETIAS is NOT a visa, and it is not payment for a visa. It’s good for 3 years, or until your passport expires (whichever happens first). When you renew your passport, you will also need to renew the ETIAS authorization (even if you still have time left on your 3 years). From what I’ve read, the system is meant to make sure you are who you say you are, and to make sure you’re not a wanted criminal anywhere in the world or would be barred from entry because of a past criminal record. Could probably also be helpful in finding missing persons and victims of human trafficking.
Clarification: ETIAS authorization required even if you already have US passport that is still valid? Although called a Visa Waiver; I a US Citizen with passport will need the ETIAS to travel to various (not all) countries in the EU.
It is for Schengen countries, not the EU. Not all countries in the Schengen area are in the EU (specifically Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Liechtenstein) and not all countries in the EU are in Schengen. Also the UK is implementing a similar system (UKETA).
That's crazy that your existing passport will immediately become invalid once you submit renewal application, instead of when the renewal is actually effective. You PAID for the old passport to have effect until its expiration date.
@@shalako1047 I think it's the destination country that refuses if your passport is less than 6 months valid, it's not the US that's denying it. However, the US might restrict for your own benefit actually (otherwise you'd be stranded once you land and can't enter the destination country).
when i renewed online i had to send my passport in with application even though it was still valid for 9 months. when i received my new passport they sent the old one back to me in a separate mailing with nothing saying it was invalid
@@gulfstrmcaptbob4124you can’t have and use two passports. If you send your old passport in to get a renewal they put a hole in it so you won’t be using it anyway.
Linking SSN to passport is BS! The infernal revenue service should have absolutely nothing to do with the state department’s legal obligation to grant passports to all citizens. 🤬

@@davidtuley5898 Just in the last flight that I took, United from Dulles to PDX, there was a family of SIX children. One adult who was not even trying to parent and SIX kids. We will not even talk about how they were behaving pre-flight. On the airplane they sat in the wrong seats and everyone around them was asked to move.

Good video, but a few parts need to be clarified regarding the ETIAS. Around 6:00 of the video, you mentioned that you would have to apply and pay for the ETIAS (visa?), but a bit later, you said that if you are over 70, you do not need it or have to pay. That info sounds conflicting to me. Also, it does not say " if you are coming from or going to an EU country." It is only if it is from or to a country that is (or was) part of the Schengen Accord).

@GenxGypsy. Dublin Airport has had Preclearance by CBP at least since June 2007. It is currently in Ireland, Canada, Caribbean and UAE. It's wonderful upon return to the US to bypass CBP. However, be aware the wait times at departing airports can be up to 2 hours! Most of my 10+ trips in Ireland and Canada have been near 30 minutes in line. A CBP Officer a mother with two preschool children trying to cut the 2 hour line & sent her to the back of the line with the threat of refusing her ability to fly at all that day! The people in line silently snuck her to the front of the line, lifting the line control ropes to hide them behind groups of tall people! The people in front watched for the CBP officer, whose rounds brought herto our line a few times. Everyone in line was completely silent about moving this family forward to catch their flight. The kindness in face of the officers threats was beautiful.
13:00 There are U.S. Customs Agents in Dublin. You went through US Customs, you just did it in Ireland. What you're referring to is different. You'll do Customs in the US, but you won't have to go back through security screening.
I LOVE that! I flew through Dublin once and loved that when I arrived in the US it was just like any other domestic arrival. Made getting to my connecting flight a lot less stressful 😊
@@breadroomghost8764it’s a great feature, especially with a Nexus card. Flying from Toronto to many of the major airports in the US, you clear customs first. No big lineups to deal with upon arrival.

@@AI_MIT_71 - No military service, I'd be required to serve if I stayed there for more than 3 months.

As for taxes, I'm filing taxes in the US since I work for an American company and I don't have income in Greece.

@@amandagish5976 - I replied to your question, but I don't see the reply so here it is again: Yes, I do have dual citizenship, you have to be a citizen of a given country before getting a passport.

Most women "over pack". When I went to Spain in 2019, my sister told me to get a carryon only, and I did. I had zero room to bring back souvenirs. I luckily had a large hand bag, and my souvenirs had to be minimal, and fit in my handbag. I made it work....but my sister and her daughter had so much luggage. I was so upset with her because I did without certain items, and she totally ovetlooked the "pack light rule".
Bare feet while traveling is literally stupid. If you've ever had to get out of a wrecked car, train, bus, plane? Does the thought of walking through broken metal and glass, BAREFOOT, and then staying barefoot until someone can find shoes for you, REALLY SOUND SMART?
Renewed our passport online, super convenient but be ready for submitting a photo. You need to make it look like a mug shot for your face to be accepted.
I have a real ID from my old state in Florida. My new state doesn't have real ID yet. Online, It says if I want to fly, I can still you my old ID with the hole punched in it. I haven't gotten on a plane in years, I'd much rather drive. LoL
It’s supposed to go live in May, 2025. Was supposed to go live in January of this year, and on another date before that, if I remember correctly. We’ll see what happens in May…
I'm a Kiwi. New Zealand has had online passport applications for over 13 years, usually takes 24-48 hours to be processed. My last renewal took 8 days to get to me (I live in Montana so international DHL delivery). Sorry, but the State Dept is 20 years behind, I feel sorry for anyone raving about how wonderful it is. Kind of pathetic, really.
Renewed my passport by mailing in my old and picking up my new passport in Auckland, NZ while I was there for 3 months. They said 6-8 weeks, but it was done in 3. I did not pick it up until almost 3 months though as I was only in Auckland for arrival and departure. Thankfully the bus, ferry & train did not require a passport for tix and the normal hotels I went to didn't either. I mostly used airbnb's where a passport is not needed at all there. NZ is not a place where IDs are needed much.
I never thought of human feet as offensive, unless they smelled funny at close range! I usually wear flip flops in the Caribbean, plus if they're going to make me take my shoes off to go through security it's way easier. Maybe I'll have to take moccasins or something just in case...
I renewed my passport in 2023 and now have Global entry as well. I have has a realID since 2019, which makes me good to go. My realID doesn't expire until 2029 and passport is in 2033.
Great updates. As a fellow gen x traveler I like to take photos on film. Do you know if the ct scans harm the film? I am taking a flight later this month to Italy and will be taking some rolls.
I've personally never had film affected (I use Fuji) and I've traveled the world regularly since the early/mid 1970s and into 2020. You can use those film-protection bags although you might have to take the film out of the bags for inspection after it has gone through the x-ray machine at the airport. Greetings from Los Angeles
I’d alter your stolen/ lost to say “been reported as stolen/lost.” If you report it lost/stolen to the Department of State, it is deemed ineligible for renewal and you have to reapply in person for a brand new one.
Can an american with another country's passport who also has an american passport, leave America with the other passport and re-enter with the american passport?

I have a real ID from my old state in Florida. My new state doesn't have real ID yet.
Online, It says if I want to fly, I can still you my old ID with the hole punched in it.
I haven't gotten on a plane in years, I'd much rather drive. LoL
Dublin is one of the TSA pre-clearence airports. passengers are treated as if they're on a domestic flight.
I've heard about the ETIAS requirement, still waiting for it to go "live". We are going to Europe in May for a cruise, so we'll see....
It’s supposed to go live in May, 2025.
Was supposed to go live in January of this year, and on another date before that, if I remember correctly.
We’ll see what happens in May…
I'm a Kiwi. New Zealand has had online passport applications for over 13 years, usually takes 24-48 hours to be processed. My last renewal took 8 days to get to me (I live in Montana so international DHL delivery).
Sorry, but the State Dept is 20 years behind, I feel sorry for anyone raving about how wonderful it is. Kind of pathetic, really.

Is my drivers license a real ID? We have passports.
I hate airlines separating families😢 Do you think they are required to seat a child and two parents on the same seat or only one parent?
Thank you very informative. A year ago I watched a video thdstvsaid we needed a European visa. Is this correct? Thank you Vic Lubbock, TX
This is down right crazy..
Does one need to apply for the etias, if traveling to Ireland?
No
Is a passport a requirement for domestic travel now?
Renewed my passport by mailing in my old and picking up my new passport in Auckland, NZ while I was there for 3 months. They said 6-8 weeks, but it was done in 3. I did not pick it up until almost 3 months though as I was only in Auckland for arrival and departure. Thankfully the bus, ferry & train did not require a passport for tix and the normal hotels I went to didn't either. I mostly used airbnb's where a passport is not needed at all there. NZ is not a place where IDs are needed much.
I have not gotten a passport yet, it will be my first time applying
With the bare feet rule, what about sandals or flip flops? Feet are bare.
Holy crap, so much stuff just to go on a trip
I never thought of human feet as offensive, unless they smelled funny at close range! I usually wear flip flops in the Caribbean, plus if they're going to make me take my shoes off to go through security it's way easier. Maybe I'll have to take moccasins or something just in case...
Hi can still we apply for passport by application ? Any option ?
I renewed my passport in 2023 and now have Global entry as well. I have has a realID since 2019, which makes me good to go. My realID doesn't expire until 2029 and passport is in 2033.
Great updates. As a fellow gen x traveler I like to take photos on film. Do you know if the ct scans harm the film? I am taking a flight later this month to Italy and will be taking some rolls.
I've personally never had film affected (I use Fuji) and I've traveled the world regularly since the early/mid 1970s and into 2020. You can use those film-protection bags although you might have to take the film out of the bags for inspection after it has gone through the x-ray machine at the airport.

@d.y.e3803 thank you. Will be the first time with the film ilford. Have been using digital now trying something different. Greetings from LA
I.D. need to travel but not to vote in California?
The new normal
That app sounds very interesting. How in the world do you keep track of the shuffle game of paying for home expenses??
I’d alter your stolen/ lost to say “been reported as stolen/lost.” If you report it lost/stolen to the Department of State, it is deemed ineligible for renewal and you have to reapply in person for a brand new one.
Thank you for this video.
And, Wow!! It seems Pete Buttigieg has actually been listening to travelers. Very cool!
Uh, doubtful
10 acres with 2 cottages on a beautiful island in the Caribbean 🇻🇨 for those who want to make a🏃 from it all 🇺🇲
Too much of a problem to travel! Switching planes and having to wonder about how much luggage 😂
ETIAS is not necessary for Aruba, Right?
Can an american with another country's passport who also has an american passport, leave America with the other passport and re-enter with the american passport?
That voucher is just a way to make more money by cancelling or delaying your flight, give you the voucher, then all nee options are $500 more than your original ticket.
How do we give someone all of our credit cards information and trust that their system won’t be hacked? Oh I would love to have a program like that, but I don’t know about that.
Living in the USA. Does that include the territories of the U.S. .?
I am in complete control over my transportation, I do not fly at all I do not play that game!!!!!!
HOW DO I GET A PASS PORT
What if a passenger, man or woman, is wearing flip flops with no sox's, is that considered "bare feet"?
IM US CITIZEN BUT DONT HAVE PASAPORT.
WHERE TO GO TO GET IT?
You don’t need real ID if you have a passport…
I believe your incorrect, your passport is issued by the Dept. of State so exactly how is a state going to make it invalid?
I will be traveling to England in September 2025. Is this country part of the EU? Thanks for this information.
England is not currently part of the EU.
They are also not a member of the Schengen Agreement.
They have their own equivalent called the eta which opens on November 27
Due to Brexit, no.
