The
first step in practical
preparation for overseas
service, whether short-term
or volunteer, is getting
a passport.
Items
to keep in mind about
passports:
Processing
a new or renewal passport
request generally takes
six to eight weeks.
Winter and spring are
peak times for people
to request passports
because summer is peak
travel season. At this
time passport processing
can take eight to 12
weeks. Please allow
plenty of time for your
passport to be processed
so that you receive
your passport back several
months before you intend
to go overseas.
Your passport ought
to be valid for at least
six months beyond the
date of your return
to the United States.
You must have a valid
passport to apply for
a visa. You will need
to work with your regional
office, after staff
committee approval.
DON’T FORGET TO
SIGN YOUR PASSPORT!
