The map is not working on my tablet or phone? If the Participating Airport pins are not showing when you open the map, push and hold until “open in a new tab” pops up, and let the map open in the new tab. This better enables the map pins to display on some devices.
What do I do if a stamp is missing? Please contact the passport team so they can replace the stamp. Take a time dated picture of yourself at the airport with your passport in hand in lieu of stamp.
What happens when a new airport is added to the program, but I have already started collecting stamps? As soon as a stamp is placed at a new airport, we add it to the interactive map, and to the list of participating airports with a mark indicating it is new on the list. Participants can collect the stamp at any time from then on. However, that stamp won't be required for that regional patch or the program completion threshold until the following calendar year. Furthermore, if your passport booklet has been validated for that region before we add that location to the Participating Airports list, you are not required to have it at all--you will have already been recorded as completing that region!
