Question: Hi. I’m traveling on the 17th of August and coming back on the 28th to Peru. I have dual citizenship which means I have both an American and Peruvian passport.

My US passport is expiring on November 28th. Would I have any issue leaving or entering the US? To my understanding, I can use my US passport to leave and enter the US and when arriving in Peru, show my Peruvian passport. I just want to make sure.

Answer: You are correct, you may use your U.S. passport to depart and re-enter the United States and use your Peruvian passport while overseas. Have a safe trip!

Question: My niece is going back to Nicaragua, her home country. Her passport expired. Can she still get a flight back? I read that it is at the discretion of the airline. Is that true? My husband is also from Nicaragua, went home on an expired passport and renewed it up there.

Answer: Generally, a valid passport is required to board an international flight. Please contact the airline your niece is traveling with to find out about their regulation regarding passport validity.

Question: I'm a resident. I need to travel on March 26. Somebody broke into my house. Now, I can't find my passport. I just have one that is expired. Can I still travel to Nicaragua with the expired one then get a new one in Nicaragua?
