Travel Information

Within U.S., Canada or Mexico
Passports are required for travel between the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Outside U.S., Canada or Mexico
Travel requirements for U.S. and Canadian citizens varies by the country where you are going. Youth Unlimited will help you understand the necessary requirements. You will need a valid U.S. or Canadian passport to travel outside of the U.S. and Canada and should apply for one immediately.

Keep It Safe
Make photocopies of your passport’s identification page and/or of your identification cards and keep the copies separate from the original when you travel. For added security, leave a copy with a friend or relative at home.

Traveling with Minors
Any adult who is not a parent or guardian should have written permission to supervise the child from the parent or guardian, as well as the child's identification and carry it with them. A letter would also facilitate entry for any one parent traveling with their children. This permission letter should contain addresses and telephone numbers where the parent or guardian can be reached. An example letter is available (see link below). It is recommended, but not required, that the letter be notarized.
