Planning Your Trip
Passport Information
If you do not have a passport, apply for one. You can do this online or go to a post office and get a form to mail in. If you already have a passport, make sure to check its expiration date! Passports that expire between October 2026 through April 2027 will need to be renewed before traveling abroad for our wedding. If it is an emergency, you can apply for an emergency passport online or in a post office, but it will cost more than a regular passport.
UK's Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA)
If you plan on traveling to the UK (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland), be sure to complete the application online at least a week before traveling. Note: Northern Ireland counties include Antrim, Armagh, Down, Fermanagh, Derry, and Tyrone. Make sure to check if any of your trip is located in these counties - if so, complete the application!
