Passports are Expensive. Here are 4 Affordable Ways to Get One

January 31, 2018 by nvshen Leave a Comment

Are you getting ready to travel outside the country for business or a vacation? Is your passport ready? Let me warn you that getting one is expensive. You might want to check this article out to save money in obtaining a passport.

Passports used to be something only jetsetters needed when traveling overseas.

Thanks to a new law set to take effect in 2018, many U.S. citizens may need a passport even if they don’t plan to leave American soil.

Visit the Department of Homeland Security website to learn the status of your state and what documentation you’ll need to travel by air.

Even if your state doesn’t currently require additional documentation, it’s still a good idea to get your passport paperwork in order now.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, “Starting October 1, 2020, every air traveler will need a REAL ID-compliant license, or another acceptable form of identification, for domestic air travel.”

What’s the REAL ID Law?
