Do I Need a Passport for Medical Tourism and Health Travel?
Secure Your Passport for Travel Abroad
You will need a valid passport to travel outside of the United States. Mexico and Canada now require U.S. citizens to present passports – a driver’s license and birth certificate will not be accepted.
A passport is an internationally recognized travel document that verifies the identity and nationality of the bearer. A valid U.S. passport is required to enter and leave most foreign countries.
Only the U.S. Department of State has the authority to grant, issue or verify United States passports.
