Get your passport:

The first step in practical preparation for overseas service 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 approve.
• DON’T FORGET TO SIGN YOUR PASSPORT!
