Passport Office on Preparing for Hurricane Season

28 June 2022 - The Passport and Corporate Services Office (P&CSO) urges all residents to ensure that travel documents are valid and secured, in preparation for this hurricane season. Residents are advised that travel documents cannot be issued when weather conditions require the closure of Government offices, including the Passport & Corporate Services Office.

As part of readiness preparation, it is essential that:

* Residents are encouraged to make copies of passports and key documents, such as birth and marriage certificates, Naturalisation and Registration certificates. These should be kept together in waterproof bags or containers and stored securely in a place that is easily accessible during emergencies, particularly during the approach of hurricanes or tropical storms

* If applying for the issuance of a United Kingdom passport, submit only copies of the valid BOTC -- Cayman Islands passport

* Residents travelling to other countries should make appropriate plans beforehand to comply with the travel requirements of respective destinations (GIS)
