Will my current passport still be valid if I am traveling abroad and my passport expires in 3 months from the date of travel?

Question: I am leaving the country and don't have time to renew my passport. My passport expires in 3 months. Will I still be allowed to use this passport or do I need to try a speedy renewal?

Answer: Your passport is valid until the date of expiration. The only problem may be the entry requirements of the country or countries you plan to visit.

Many countries require your passport to have 3 to 6 month validity remaining before they will allow you to enter or issue a travel visa.
