Proof of Travel Requirements

If you are expediting your passport, the U.S. government requires proof of imminent travel — typically within the next two weeks. This documentation helps speed up the processing of your passport application.

Please review the accepted forms of travel proof below and ensure your documents include your full name and travel dates.

Plane Ticket or Travel Itinerary

A copy of your plane ticket or a travel itinerary generated by a travel agency showing your name and date of travel.

Business Letter

Business travelers may provide a business letter if neither of the above is available.

Employment Purposes Travel

If you need your passport for employment purposes, a substantiating letter from the HR Department of your company may also be required.
