State Department reduces passport services to only those with 'life-or-death' emergencies

The U.S. government is cutting back on issuing passports to only travelers “with a qualified life-or-death emergency” in an effort to limit the spread of the coronavirus.

The State Department announced the changes to the passport policy on Thursday, saying that only customers with those qualified emergencies and who need a passport for immediate international travel within 72 hours will be issued one.

A “life-or-death” emergency is a serious illness, injury or death in a person’s immediate family that requires travel outside the U.S., the State Department said. To obtain a new passport, the traveler would need to provide a passport application and the supporting materials, proof of travel and proof of the life-or-death emergency such as a death certificate, a statement from a mortuary or a signed letter from a hospital or doctor.

The State Department’s move comes soon after it issued a new alert urging Americans not to travel abroad under any circumstances and to return home if they are already abroad unless they plan to remain overseas.
