COVID-19 Update: Know Before You Apply For A U.S. Passport

If you are thinking about applying for or renewing a U.S. passport now for international travel, please read the Department of State’s current international travel advisory.

Learn more on the COVID-19 Update page and Frequently Asked Questions page.

Reminders

You do not need to renew your passport before it expires unless you are planning to travel internationally.
Most countries require that your U.S. passport have at least six months of validity beyond the dates of your trip. Some airlines will not let you board an international flight if this requirement is not met.
Though an expired passport cannot be used for international travel, customers eligible to renew their 10-year passport have up to 5 years to renew the passport using Form DS-82 after it expires.
After the 10-year passport has been expired for 5 years, you cannot renew it and you must apply in person using Form DS-11 if you want a new passport.
You cannot renew your child’s passport by mail. All children under age 16 must appear in person with both parents or guardians and apply using Form DS-11.
If you have a 5 Year passport you CANNOT renew by mail.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are eligible to renew by mail you are NOT able to apply in office at an Acceptance Facility. We are happy to review your completed application and take your photo for a fee of $18 but you WILL be responsible for mailing your application in on your own. Detailed instructions are provided below.

Step 1- Fill out Form DS-82

If using form-filler please complete ALL APPLICABLE information despite the form filler not requiring specific information. Not completing will cause delays in the processing of your renewal. When printing, print separate pages (not front/back).
