New Requirements for US Passports

Remember, passports are now required for all travelers, including U.S. citizens, traveling by air between the U.S. and destinations in Mexico, the Caribbean, the Bahamas and Bermuda. With the influx of passport applications, it's taking up to 12 weeks to obtain a passport, a process that used to take six weeks. U.S. citizens who don't yet have a passport can consider destinations like Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
