Renew Your Passport and Visa® Credit Cards

If you travel outside the U.S. with a passport that expires within six months, certain countries may not allow you past customs, and some airlines may not let you aboard. Renew your passport early, and allow at least six weeks for processing. For more information about passport renewal, costs, and processing times, visit http://travel.state.gov/passport.

Don't Forget about Your Visa Credit Card

While you're updating your passport, be sure to check the expiration date on your UW Credit Union Visa credit card to ensure it doesn't expire while you're away.
