PASSPORTS 
A passport, except in a few instances, is necessary for ail 
foreign travel. St is your proof of American Citizenship, used 
frequently as identification, and is needed for re-entry into 
the United States, Because of its importance, the passport 
should be guarded carefully, if lost, report the matter at one® 
to the nearest American Consulate, 
Pa ssport applications may b© obtained from the Passport 
Bureau of the State Department, which maintains offices in 
the larger cities and principal seaports, or from the clerk of 
any Federal or State Court who will assist in filling it out and 
take the necessary affidavit. 
In addition to Individual passports, joint passports are also 
issued for married couples or for parents with minor children. 
Some countries, however, require separate passports for chil- 
dren over a certain age. Should persons covered by a joint 
passport expect to return separately or travel separately 
while abroad, obtain separate passports for each nvsmber of 
th® family. 
Allow at least a month to get your passport. If you plan 
to leave your home address before receipt of your passport* 
have it forwarded to your port of sailing in care of your tourist 
agency or passenger office of your steamship line.

o? American Citizenship. This may be a birth certificate, bap- 
tismal certificate, or an affidavit of a near relative stating

naturalized citizen must present naturalization papers, or those 
of a husband or parent by whom citizenship was acquired. A 
witness, an American citizen or naturalized citizen over twenty- 
one years of age who has known you at least two years and
