Alpha1 Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 As a general rule, passports must be valid for six months beyond the date the traveler will exit the U.S., however, the U.S. has signed agreements with a number of countries to waive this requirement. https://help.cbp.gov/s/article/Article-905?language=en_US#:~:text=As a general rule%2C passports,countries to waive this requirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisbee Gal Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 She's flying INTO the US. I wouldn't worry about one day coming into US. Hopefully the OP will be in US long enough to renew. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 I suspect that a Passport that says it expires June 15th won't expire until the end of the day June 15th..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Mexico is on the list of states doing so if I read your link correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Correct. For example one cannot get a TIP, good for 180 days, if their US Passport is due to expire within that 180 days. Ask me how I know..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNR1 Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Message for U.S. Citizens: U.S. Embassy Mexico City (May 26, 2021) Location: Mexico Event: U.S. citizens may directly return to the United States with certain expired U.S. passports. If you are abroad and your passport expired on or after January 1, 2020, you may be able to use your expired passport to return directly to the United States until December 31, 2021. You qualify for this exception if all the following are true: You are a U.S. citizen. You are currently abroad seeking direct return to the United States. You are flying directly to the United States, a United States territory, or have only short-term transit (“connecting flights”) through a foreign country on your direct return to the United States or to a United States Territory. Your expired passport was originally valid for 10 years. Or, if you were 15 years of age or younger when the passport was issued, your expired passport was valid for 5 years. Your expired passport is undamaged. Your expired passport is unaltered. Your expired passport is in your possession. You do not qualify for this exception if: You wish to depart from the United States to an international destination. You are currently abroad seeking to travel to a foreign country for any length of stay longer than an airport connection en route to the United States or to a United States territory. Your expired passport was limited in validity. Your expired passport is a special issuance passport (such as a diplomatic, official, service, or no-fee regular passport). Your expired passport is damaged. Your expired passport is altered. Your expired passport is not in your possession. Please be advised that currently, routine passport processing in the United States can take 10-12 weeks. If you need a passport in less than 10-12 weeks due to international travel plans, you can pay an additional $60 fee to expedite your passport, which will shorten the processing time to 4-6 weeks. If your U.S. passport expired on or before December 31, 2019, please see our website for information on how to renew your passport before traveling: https://mx.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/making-an-appointment/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
