Passport Services
A valid passport is essential for international touring.
SOS encourages crew and touring staff to make sure their passports are always "kept current" - valid for at least 6 months / 6 months past the end of a current tour and with ample blank visa pages. By paying careful attention to these items on an ongoing basis, you can avoid costly expedited processing fees that result when emergency / rush services are needed.
For countries that allow citizens to hold two concurrently valid passports, SOS strongly recommends that active touring professionals should maintain more than one passport, as this can be extremely helpful in many visa situations and can allow continued international travel while visas are in process. For questions about second passport eligibility, please contact us directly.

U.S. Passport Services

Non-U.S. Passport Services
Requirements for non-U.S. citizens vary widely from country to country. For non-U.S. citizens residing temporarily or permanently in the United States, SOS has experience working with many foreign consulates and can assist you with the process of renewing your passport or obtaining other passport-related services. For non-U.S. citizens residing in the United States, it is particularly important to pay close attention to the expiration of your passport and the available number of visa pages, since not all countries offer rush services within the United States.
