U.S Puts New Passport Requirements On Hold

Rules Suspended in Response to Surge of Passport Applications

(AP)  The surge in applications has doubled target turnaround times for passports six to 10-12 weeks, but 500,000 applications have already taken longer.

Those numbers pale in comparison to what lies ahead.

According to government estimates, about 6 million Americans will need formal documents to travel to the Caribbean, Canada or Mexico by air or sea. The estimated need for land crossings is more than four times that: 27 million Americans over the next five years. Those numbers do not include the regular year-to-year demand for passports.

Last year, the State Department processed 12.1 million passports. This year, officials expect to process about 18 million. The department received 1 million applications in December, 1.8 million January and 1.7 million in February.

Of course there should be a delay. 17 months is good, but 17 years would be better! One of the few things that "works" in Mexico is the tourism industry and requiring a passport for Americans to come back across the border, instead of the already required drivers license can't help but damage it.
