Sample Business Letter for Passport

If you’ve got a big trip abroad coming up and are currently going through the process of obtaining an expedited passport, proof of travel will often be required. This essentially outlines exactly why you’ll be taking your trip, how long you’ll be there and more, all of which goes a long way towards helping the passport application process go as smoothly as possible Provided that your travel accommodations have not yet been booked, it is always recommended to provide a “Business Letter” during the application process. This letter, which itself should be printed on the letterhead of the business that you’re traveling for, also needs to be signed by a high-ranking official in the company who is not the passport applicant.

It is required that this letter clearly state the purpose of the trip, the country of destination and a detailed explanation as to why a business letter is being submitted in lieu of a detailed itinerary. It also must have the earliest date that you must have your passport in hand to make sure that your trip goes off without delay. Note that the trip must be taking place within two weeks of the letter being submitted.
