Bill > HR457

This bill requires the Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs to send notifications to U.S. passport holders about their passport's upcoming expiration, with specific guidelines for implementation. Under the bill, for each U.S. citizen with a valid passport, the Assistant Secretary must send a notification at least 180 days before the passport's scheduled expiration date. This notification must include information about the pending expiration and detailed instructions on how to renew the passport, including where to submit required renewal materials. The notifications can be sent electronically or on paper, and this requirement will apply to passports set to expire 180 days or more after the bill's enactment. The legislation, known as the "Passport Notification Act of 2025," aims to help U.S. citizens stay informed about their passport status and facilitate a smoother renewal process by providing advance notice and clear guidance.
