Passport Info / Carrying Passports
Passport Information – Please be sure to have the correct documents when you apply for the passport.
The Stutsman County Record Office is the correct location to submit your paperwork.
Please also be sure click the link for your age group! (Under 16 or 16 and older)
Herr Mick must have a photocopy of your passport before we leave. You also need to leave one with your parents.
Passports must be carried with you at all times on the trip.
It is recommended that you get a travel neck pouch or waist pouch to carry your passport and money in. You are not to carry your passport in your pockets – this is essential!

Geld (Money)
- Please be sure to try any ATM, Credit, and Debit cards in the US before you leave. It won’t be fun to find glitches in Europe!
- Notify your bank and credit card company that you are traveling abroad and tell them when. Some banks will freeze your funds if they see “suspicious” activity.
- Make sure money is in the correct account so that you can get at it!
- Leave your bank alternative contact information – eg. your parents – you’ll be hard to get a hold of in Germany/Austria!
- Know your daily limits! (Cash withdrawal limits are different than daily spending limits!)
- Know your PIN #’s – do not write them on the cards – leave them with your parents in the US as well.
- Travelers Checks – Avoid these at all costs if possible – it’s difficult to find anyone to accept them – even in the US.
- Your personal checkbook will NOT work in Europe.
Notarized Permission Forms and Conduct Agreement
Herr Mickelson MUST receive your notarized permission form before departure. This ensures we travel as a group.
Your parents must fill this out in front of a notary public – not before!
