GovTrip Travel Authorization

All travel itineraries must be prepared and authorized using GovTrip.

Once you have determined a trip purpose, dates, location, and received verbal approval from your approving officials you or your Agency Travel Coordinator or Travel Arranger may begin the GovTrip Travel Authorization (195.68 KB)  process.

It is imperative that you comply with Federal Regulations (8.17 MB)  and Agricultural Travel Regulations (238.4 KB)  when creating your itinerary, including special rules for Premium Class travel, non-contract and non-American (Foreign Flag) carriers. Visit the Regulations webpage for more information and a list of major regulatory compliance Do’s & Don’ts for international travel.
