Our daughter's passport used her middle name while the booking used a shortened version. The mismatch surfaced during the review, giving us time to correct the record and update the airline. We also left with a paper backup set for every family member. That check changed the tone of the whole week before departure.Luzzi Kivela, family travel coordinator

I was preparing a visa application for a client meeting and had one date copied incorrectly from my itinerary. Thompson Voyage caught it during a last-minute review, then helped me organise the supporting records in the order the agency requested. The process was direct, specific, and far less stressful than guessing at the counter.Amari Razzak, director at Northstar Materials
Straight answers
Common passport questions, answered
Rules vary by destination and application type. These starting points help you identify what to check next.
How fast can I get a passport?
Processing time depends on the application route, current agency workload, and whether expedited service is available. We help you compare the timeline with your departure date and identify the next required step.
Do I need to appear in person?
Some first-time applications and special cases require an in-person appointment. Renewals may follow a different process. We review your situation and point you toward the correct agency instructions.
What counts as a visa photo?
Photo rules can differ by country, including size, background, expression, and how recently the image was taken. Check the destination's current requirements before submitting your application.
Can I travel if my passport expires in four months?
Many destinations expect several months of validity beyond your arrival date, and the exact rule varies. We compare the expiry date with your itinerary and destination requirements so you can act before check-in.
Is a passport card enough?
A passport card has limited travel uses and is not a substitute for a passport book on many international air routes. Tell us how you are travelling and where you are going before relying on it.
