Are our passports still valid?

by Dinesh
(OH, USA)

Dear Sir:

My wife and I US Passports were issued in 2002 and we have only used them to go to England and Ireland in 2002.

Since then we have both retired and are planning to go to England again in April of 2010.

Question:

Is there any need or process to review and confirm that our Passports are still valid and are in order for are planned trip to England this coming April.

Thank you.
Best regards

Dinesh

Dinesh,

Passports issued to U.S. citizens over age 16 are valid for ten (10) years from the date of issuance. The Issue Date of your passport can be found on the data page of your Passport Book or on the front of your Passport Card. If your passports were issued in 2002 then they should be valid until 2012.

Best regards,

William
