When visiting a foreign country, USA passports are required for American citizens. At that time, it is stamped with a date that records how long you may visit. You must carry it to prove your identity whenever requested by the country’s authorities. It must also be shown when returning home.

Due to the many terrorist acts throughout the world, this has changed and a passport card or regular passport is required when entering and leaving that country.
Fees
All new passports must be handled by an authorized agent of the U. S. Government. They are located in a number of places, including post offices, court clerks, public libraries and other places. Applications from outside the U. S., for minors under 16, for those 16 and 17 and for diplomats as well as no-fee passports require special handling. In addition, standard processing time is 4 to 6 weeks. However, it is possible to have it expedited (2 to 3 weeks) for an extra $60 fee.
First Time Passports
If applying for a passport for the first time, there is an application form available online or in the agent’s office which must be filled out. This application can only be signed when it is presented with the other required papers. At the same time, evidence of citizenship, a Social Security card and another piece of identification must be presented. A passport photo is also required and can sometimes be obtained at the authorized application’s location.
Evidence Of Citizenship
Evidence of U. S. Citizenship requires one of the following: previously issued, undamaged US passport, certified birth certificate (either US or birth abroad), a naturalization or citizenship certificate. In addition, there are other rules if you have a previous passport.
Passport Renewal

Your current passport must be undamaged, issued within the past 15 years and when you were 16 years or older. It is surrendered along with other documents as required on the application form. People who are not current on child support payments cannot obtain a passport.
Lost Or Stolen Passports
On occasion when visiting abroad, this valuable document is lost or stolen. When this happens, it is necessary to go to the nearest U. S. Embassy or consulate where a limited validity document can be issued. However, to return to this country, special procedures must be followed and it takes a number of weeks to receive a standard issue.
