Who is responsible for ensuring that personal travel documentation is valid and current?

The responsibility for ensuring that personal travel documentation is valid and current primarily lies with the individual traveling. This individual is expected to take proactive steps to verify that all necessary documentation, such as passports, visas, and any other required travel documents, meet the valid status and are up-to-date prior to embarking on travel. While travel agencies can assist in providing information or guidance regarding travel documentation, it is ultimately the traveler’s responsibility to ensure that their documents comply with travel regulations.

The courier's supervisor, while involved in overseeing travel arrangements or related tasks, does not typically have the direct responsibility to ensure that the individual’s personal travel documentation is valid. Supervisors may provide support or assistance in the process but do not bear the primary accountability for the personal travel documents of the individuals under their supervision. Similarly, the transportation command has broader roles related to the movement of personnel and cargo but does not handle personal travel documentation on an individual basis.
