Passports
You will need a passport to go abroad. You should start the process of applying or renewing your passport at least 3 months before you depart. If you already have a passport, check the expiration date. Your passport should have a valid expiration date at least six months AFTER you return to the U.S. from international travel.
Our office hosts two Passport Drives annually in the Fall and Spring semesters. During this event the Monroe County Clerk is on campus to take passport photos, process passport applications and renew passports. Email us to find out when the next Passport Drive is scheduled.
