Booking flights is the fun part. The part that derails trips is paperwork: a passport that expired without anyone noticing, or a grandparent taking the kids to Mexico without the consent form the airline asks for at the gate.
Both problems get solved in about fifteen minutes at AIM Mail Center, and November is the month to do it — passport processing times stretch during the winter travel rush.
Passport photos, done right the first time
Rejected photos are the most common reason passport applications bounce. Government specs are strict: exact size, plain background, neutral expression, no glasses, recent likeness. Our passport photo service shoots to spec while you wait — no guessing with a phone app and a bedsheet.
Check your expiration dates tonight. Many countries require six months of validity beyond your travel dates, so a passport expiring in spring can sink a December trip. Kids’ passports expire every five years and sneak up on everyone.
Notarized travel consent forms
If a child is traveling internationally with one parent, grandparents, or a school group, airlines and border agents frequently ask for a notarized consent letter from the non-traveling parent(s). Our notary handles these every week — walk in with a valid photo ID and the unsigned form, and sign it in front of us. While you’re here, we can copy or scan everything for your travel folder.
