Your passport is your own government's permit for you to leave and re-enter your home country.

You should ensure that your passport is valid 6 months into the future at all times. To renew from within the United States, contact your local embassy. If you need to supply a letter affirming that you are enrolled at Emory University, you can request an official letter from the Office of the Registrar.

• Identifying photo
• Passport number
• Full legal name
