Hi

maybe somebody here can help me, Im travelling to New York in December and i have one of the old passports where your photo isnt made into the actual passport, It also expires in March 2009.

My question is...

You need a machine-readable passport.

My advice is that you get a new passport before you go seeing as it's out of date news March.

Hi All,
I'm due to head to the States in just over 2 weeks. I was reading that you need a machine readable passport. The one I have was issued in 2001.
Does anyone know if this is suitable?

Thanks...

A passport is machine readable when there are two lines of letters, numbers and chevrons (“>>>>>”) printed across the long edge of the personal information page (the page with photograph and personal details). The machine-readable text will appear on a white strip on older passports and directly on the pink page of newer passports. If there are no such lines of text on the personal information page, the passport is not machine-readable.
