Question: My family will be traveling to Mexico in July and we will have a 3-year old and an infant about 4 months old. Will they both need passports?
Answer: Every citizen of the United States, independent of age (even newborn infants), is required to have a valid passport when traveling outside the United States. There is an exception for travel on a closed-loop cruise or travel by land to Canada.
Regular processing of passport applications can take 4-6 weeks or longer. We recommend you submit the applications as soon as possible.
