Passports, validity, requirements, where and how to get them
In general, if you are not a citizen of the country of your destination, you must have a passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of travel. Please check your passport validity before you make your travel arrangements to avoid cancellation fees or any additional expense.

For Philippine Passport: Contact the nearest consulate office near you for complete requirements for passport application/renewal.

For U.S. Passport: Visit the Passport Services Site of the U.S. State Department website for more information.

For other nationalities; Please contact your country's consulate office nearest you.

Traveling with children: What documents do we need?

For domestic travel, it is not required to present any ID for children if you have the same last names. However, it is highly suggested to bring proof of child's identity just incase.  If the child do not have a passport yet, you may bring the birth certificated or a notarized copy of.

For international travel, every child, including infant, must have their own passport, and/or the same visa requirements (if any) as the accompanying adult. In addition, for travel to the Philippines, depending on each situation, additional documents may be required when children travel with one parent.  A minor (below 15) not holding a Philippine passport, will need a document called "waiver of exclusion" from the Philippine Consulate office, and a notarized letter of authorizations from the other parent. The same applies to children traveling with anyone else other than their parents. In this case, an authorization would be required from both parents.

Visa requirements: Do I need a visa?

Depending on the country that you will be visiting, most of which allow U.S. citizens a certain amount of days to visit their country without visa.  Requirements will sometimes depend on the purpose of travel as well.

If you intend to visit the Philippines for more than 21 days, or you're traveling for business purposes, then the answer is yes, you need a visa. Some nationalities require a visa regardless of their planned length of stay.

A visit to China or Vietnam, however, will always require a tourist visa unless you are a citizen of such country you are visiting.

It is best to contact the country's consulate office near you for the most updated information.
