Thankfully, there are plenty of great apps to help us with these and make the experience much easier. Here are the best apps for traveling out of the country.

5. Passport Photo Maker

Before you leave the country, you have to have a passport. There are specific requirements for what your photo can look like, and if you don’t want to get your photo taken at the DMV or post office, then this app is your best choice. It helps you take ID-regulated photos, so that you don’t have to worry about meeting the requirements when you send in your application for your passport (or any other ID for that matter).

3. TripLingo

If you don’t speak the language of the country you’re visiting, then you’ll need some type of translation app. TripLingo focuses on translating what you say into colloquial phrases that fit the region you’re visiting. For example, if you go to France, it’ll use phrases in French that may be different than if you visited a different French-speaking country like Senegal.

2. Mobile Passport

The Mobile Passport app exists to make your life easier when going through customs at airports. It is essentially what it says it is, allowing you to create a passport profile on your phone, making the entire airport experience much faster and easier. In fact, airports that accept Mobile Passport have specific lines and registrations, making the process much faster since you won’t be with everyone else.
