Passport expiring in Dec....

[helicopter]

my grandson's friend is going on June 3rd cruise with us and his passport expires on 12/25/12, will this be ok for the cruise? I know there is a time that it has to be good past cruise date, just not sure what it is:confused:

That should be fine.

 

Some foreign ports want the Passport to be valid for at least 6 months after you visit. You're going in early June and his passport expires 6 months + some days!

 

Enjoy your trip!

Depending on where you travel, it is fine to use an expired US passport. For many of the Caribbean ports, you can use a passport as proof of citizenship for up to 10 years after expiration.

 

You will be fine unless you are traveling outside of the Caribbean or Mexico.

No longer correct. Ever since the WHTI implementation in 2009, you may not use an expired passport to travel.

I would also bring a certified birth certificate with you as backup if they won't take it.
