Al Qaeda Threat Leads to Closing of U.S. Embassies and Consulates

The U.S. Department of State issued a Worldwide Travel Alert due to a hightened threat of terrorist attacks.

Recommended safety precautions for American citizens.

1. Defer travel to Middle East and North Africa, if possible.

The Department of State alerts U.S. citizens to the continued potential for terrorist attacks, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa, and possibly occurring in or emanating from the Arabian Peninsula. Current information suggests that al-Qa?ida and affiliated organizations continue to plan terrorist attacks both in the region and beyond, and that they may focus efforts to conduct attacks in the period between now and the end of August.

2. Enroll in the Department of State's Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) STEP enrollment gives you the latest security updates, and makes it easier for the U.S. embassy or nearest U.S. consulate to contact you in an emergency. If you don't have Internet access, enroll directly with the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. 3. Stay alert. U.S. citizens should take every precaution to be aware of their surroundings and to adopt appropriate safety measures to protect themselves when traveling. 4. Keep informed. Follow the Department of State on Twitter and the Bureau of Consular Affairs page on Facebook. Download the free Smart Traveler app, available through  iTunes or  Google Play, to have travel information at your fingertips.  In addition to information on the internet, travelers may obtain up-to-date information on security conditions by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll-free in the United States and Canada or, from other countries, on a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444. These numbers are available from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm Monday through Friday, Eastern Time (except U.S. federal holidays).

Where to Apply for a Passport in Person

Passport Application Form DS-11American citizens can apply for a passport in person in the United States at an application acceptance facility or a regional passport agency. There are thousands of application acceptance facilities in the United States. The majority are located in post offices but they can also be found in a few public libraries and local government offices. Passport applications submitted at these locations have an estimated processing time of 4-6 weeks for standard service and 2-3 weeks for expedited service. There are 25 regional passport agencies located in major U.S. cities. They process applications for applicants who need to get a passport within 14 days either to travel abroad or to submit for the issuance of a foreign entry visa. All agencies issue passport books but not all of them issue passport cards. Passports applications are processed at the agencies within 5 business days. It can be as fast as the same day. American citizens who are traveling abroad can apply for a passport in person at the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate general.
