Hi so I’m planning a trip this year (2023) at the end of July to go to Cancun. I’ll be getting my passport next week. I’ve been reading about a 6 month passport rule and I’m wondering if I’ll be denied flying if my passport is too new to travel?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Too new? There's no such thing. Some countries do not allow you to enter if your passport will expire within 6 months of your arrival into the country. That's the 6 month rule you've heard of.

If you or anyone else is interested, this site allows you to see the requirements for every country. If you search for Mexico you will see they only require the passport be valid upon arrival.

I assume that you mean a US passport. They are good for 10 years.
If it has recently been renewed, it is as valid as they come.

@floridaguy my response is not US specific and applies to all countries as the 6 month rule the OP asked about is based on the country traveling to, not from. All passports are valid immediately. So there you go...

Not "all" passports are valid immediately. Some are revoked by the country of issue.
