So you put off renewing your passport because, hey you’ve got five months left before it expires. Not so fast.  According to Consumerist many countries require at least six-months of validity before they’ll let you in – just like the United States.  So “before you fly, make sure to check the country’s passport requirements on the State Department’s travel advisory website. Otherwise, you’ll be lucky to find a 24-hour passport processing center” where you’ll pay through the nose, “or if you’re unlucky… well, you’ll be grounded.”
