can i go back to America with an expired passport?

Question

im an American residing in the uk

Answer 1

Nope. As of Jan 23, ALL people flying into the US required a current and valid passport...that includes all Americans.

Answer 2

You are already breaking the immigration laws in the UK too!!!! you cannot be in foreign country with an already expired passport, meaning that you have no right to be there and you cannot FLY with on an expired passport. Passport are about ten years old, did you not remeber that you had to renew it? or you must have been in the UK a very long time.

Answer 3

You will not be able to re-enter the United States on an expired passport. You need to contact a relative and you will need to get another passport issued. If you can get your relative your valid birth certificate you should be able to start this process. Look go to this website www.globalvisa.com You can send these people an email, or you can call them from the UK and they can help you get another valid passport.

From US Customs and Border Protection website

What documents/paperwork does a U.S. citizen (adult/child) need for International travel?



If you are traveling in the Western Hemisphere, (Canada, Mexico, Caribbean, Central and South America):

*
ALL persons*, including U.S. citizens, traveling by air between the United States and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda are required to present a valid passport, Air NEXUS card, or U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Document.
*
As early as January 1, 2008, ALL persons*, including U.S. citizens, traveling between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Bermuda by land or sea (including ferries), may be required to present a valid passport or other documents as determined by the Department of Homeland Security. While recent legislative changes permit a later deadline, the Departments of State and Homeland Security are working to meet all requirements as soon as possible. Ample advance notice will be provided to enable the public to obtain passports or passport cards for land/sea entries.

*Lawful permanent residents (LPRs), refugees, and asylees will continue to be able to use their Alien Registration Card (Form I-551), issued by DHS, or other valid evidence of permanent residence status or refugee or asylee status to apply for entry to the United States. LPR's may still need to present a passport for entry into a foreign destination. For this reason airlines may deny boarding to LPR's traveling without a passport.

If traveling from outside the Western Hemisphere, all U.S. citizens MUST present a passport, including children.

Travel by Land - If a U.S. citizen does not have a passport or a certified copy of a birth certificate, the following may be accepted as proof of citizenship: - A U.S. state or federal government-issued birth record (note: hospital-issued birth certificates are not acceptable) or baptismal record. If a U.S. citizen child was recently born, and no copy of the birth certificate is available, bring whatever paperwork the hospital has given you as a record of the birth. If you do not have a certified copy of your birth certificate, one can be requested from the Vital Records office in the State where you were born.

Laminated Birth Certificates are not useful for purposes of establishing citizenship because it is impossible to determine they are certified. A Certificate of Citizenship, or Certificate of Naturalization are also excepted [note: notarized photocopies or notarized fax copies of such certificates are acceptable, but affidavits of citizenship and voter registrations are not).

Neither of the above will be acceptable unless accompanied by a government issued photo ID.

For information about what documents are required for a U.S. resident to enter a foreign country, we advise you to contact the embassy or consulate general of the country you intend to travel to in order to find out what documents they require you to have for entry. It is important to understand that some Western Hemisphere countries require you to have a passport for entry into their country, even though the U.S. does not require you to have one to re-enter the U.S.
