Picking Your Passport
- Options Galore: You've got two fantastic choices: the Classic or the Collector's edition of the Passport. The Classic gives you the basics, while the Collector's version boasts more space for stamps and cancellations from over 400 national park sites1.
- Where to Buy: Grab your Passport from the Americas National Parks online store or authorized retailers1.
Stampeding through National Parks
- Exploring the Great Outdoors: Visit over 400 national parks throughout the United States. Each site usually has a cancellation station where you can put your Passport to work.
- Stamping Time: Find the cancellation station, often located at the park's visitor center or information desk. Use the provided stamp to mark the date and location of your visit in your Passport2.
- Limited-Edition Stamps: Some parks may offer special or commemorative stamps during events or anniversaries, adding an extra layer of collecting excitement2.
Giving Back and Connecting
- Supporting National Parks: By participating in the Passport program, you're helping fund educational and interpretive programs at national parks, as all net proceeds from the program go towards these initiatives4.
- Community Spirit: The program fosters a sense of camaraderie and shared experiences among travelers who explore various national park sites2.
Digital Companions
- App It Up: Although the Passport is physical, the National Park Service (NPS) offers a mobile app to help you navigate and explore national parks digitally3. While it doesn't replace the Passport, it can be a helpful tool for extra information and planning.
