Although you may still be enjoying spring break<\/a>, it might be time to plan your summer vacation<\/a> \u2014 if you haven’t already done so.<\/p>\n

There are 11 things on your summer travel checklist<\/a> that you should start on now, including renewing your U.S. passport<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, as of mid-March, expect a minimum of eight to 11 weeks for routine passport service and five to seven for expedited service.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of State advises travelers to renew a minimum of six months ahead of planned travel. It’s also important to renew since most countries require visitors’ passports to be valid for at least six months<\/a> after their scheduled return date.<\/p>\n
