Traveler Introduction

There are several types of travel documents available from your GovTrip welcome page. Select the appropriate item from the drop-down menu under Official Travel.

		An Authorization is the document that contains travel request information. It gives the trip type, purpose, departure and return dates, and the location(s) of the trip. It enables the traveler to make tentative airline, lodging, and car rental reservations and to estimate expenses for the trip. This document is digitally signed and routed to the Travel Management Center (TMC) for processing before routing to the Approving Official.
		A Voucher is the document that the traveler completes and submits after a trip. It is used to reconcile actual costs and expenditures with those estimated on the original authorization.
		A Local Voucher is a document submitted to claim reimbursement for expenses incurred while transacting official business is a local area for a period of less than 12 hours.
		A Group Authorization enables a primary traveler to enter all travel information for a group of people going to the same location for the same purpose.

Choose from the document types in the WBT toolbar above to learn more. The Advanced Topics drop-down menu offers information about special conditions and functions that the traveler may incorporate into a travel document (e.g. adjusting the document, using multiple lines of accounting).
