A second valid passport is for travelers usually for one or more of the following reasons:
-
- Need to obtain visas while traveling abroad, or are trying to obtain multiple visas which will take longer to obtain than their travel date.
- Are traveling between multiple countries that are politically sensitive or have restrictive entry requirements, making it impossible to complete the trip using just one passport.
- You may renew your second valid passport by providing the same requirements as if you are renewing your first passport.
- Please note: Ambassador Passport and Visa is a private service that charges an additional fee to expedite your passport in 1-12 days.
