Is Convo Passport the same as my Passport for travel?
Nope, your Convo Passport and U.S. Citizenship Passport are two different things.
I registered for a Convo passport and can still not make or receive calls.
That’s no fun! Here’s a quick guide to follow so you can get back to making calls with your Convo Passport.
- Restart your phone. If it still doesn’t work, try switching to a different WiFi network.
- If it still doesn’t work, try turning off the WiFi and using your cellular data to make calls.
- If it works, reconnect with any WiFi you can find. Go here to find your Internet Protocol (IP) information. Share your IP information with Customer Support for more help.
Note: Countries with established cell service networks will be more likely to connect your calls with Convo Passport than countries without.
How long is my Passport valid?
Your Convo Passport is good for up to 28 days.
I am traveling for more than 28 days. How do I extend my passport?
You can make multiple Convo Passport requests if you plan to travel for more than 28 days. Make sure that the dates of your second Convo Passport request do not overlap with your first Convo Passport request.
For example, you have an 8-week trip that starts on August 1. In your first Convo Passport request, you should put your dates as August 1 to August 29. In your second Convo Passport request, you must set the dates as August 30 to September 27. This will cover your trip with your Convo Passport.
IMPORTANT: The FCC has waived the rule preventing extensions of passports until June 30, 2023, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After June 30, 2023, this rule may change. We will inform you by then if things have changed.
Can I use my VRS Español number with my Convo Passport?
Convo Passport only works with English VRS numbers.
Can Convo Passport be applied for in more than two regions at the same time?
Yes, you can select as many regions as you need. To add multiple regions, type the second region you plan to travel to so you can see a dropdown menu to click on the correct area you are looking for. This process also works if you plan to add more regions when you make your Convo Passport request.
