Dealing with Passport Issues? Here’s What to Do

If you’ve run into a passport problem, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Whether it’s a lost passport, an expired one, or even a simple mistake on the page, here’s a quick rundown of what you should know:

✅ Lost or Stolen Passport?
Report it to the authorities right away—this protects you if someone tries to use it. After that, you can apply for a replacement.

✅ Expired Passport?
If you’re planning a trip, remember that many countries require your passport to be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date. Renew it as soon as possible to avoid travel hiccups.

✅ Damaged Passport?
Water damage, torn pages, or anything that makes the passport unreadable can be an issue at the border. It’s better to get it replaced before your trip.

✅ Mistakes or Name Changes?
Maybe there’s a typo or you’ve changed your name—no worries. Just contact your local passport office to correct the info.
