What should I do if my passport has expired or will expire within six months after I return from my pilgrimage?

If your passport is expired or expires on or before 6 months after on the day you arrive back form your pilgrimage, you will need to renew your passport. We recommend beginning the renewal process now. According to the State Department website, routine processing of all passport services take between 7-10 weeks, not including mailing time.
