    Military Passports
    Does anyone know if an active military person needs passport to travel? My son will be stationed in Japan and I when he comes home to the US I didn't know if he can travel on his military id. Thanks for the help.

    I understand your concern, but I don't think there is any need to worry how he will get around. The Military got him to Japan, they will get him back. I don't think you need to worry about passports.

    Military personel do need a government issue passport. But if you are sent overseas due to PCS or TCS the orders count as your passport. If a soldier is being sent to another country due to TDY then they will need the GOV issue Passport. The military is working on having everyone apply for a GOV issue Passport. After that is completed then it will be mandatory to show these passports when traveling to any country due to military orders.

    I think the poster was worried how her son was going to get to his residence after landing at an army base, or whatever. Or she was worried he may not be able to come visit her to a local airport. If army personnel land at Trenton air force base (Ontario), then the army gets them onward to other provinces.

    I guess she was reunited with her son because we didn't hear from her again. I guess it was a happy time!

    My fiancé is currently stationed over seas in Okinawa Japan and his two year station is up in April. He was planning on coming home April 3 and we are getting married on April 11, now all of a sudden he's required to have a passport and can't leave until he has one. He probably won't have one for 2-4 weeks. We have to reschedule everything. I don't understand why all of a sudden he needs one when before he just used his orders. Also, way to tell him 12 days before he is supposed to come home! I think it's bull

    My son and I have to travel to Mexico (emergency). My concern is that he doesn't have an passport but he has his military id. Can he travel with his id only?
