My passport will expire a bit less than seven months after I start traveling - it expires in May 6 2013 and I am travelling on November 16 — will it still be valid?

There's about two months before my trip begins. Is it still ok to travel or must I renew my passport?



Best Answer

The comments really pretty much say it all. Yes, your passport is valid. Your passport loses its validity on May 6 2013. However, many countries won't, at least on paper, accept travelers with a passport that is valid for less than 6 months.
