Non-U.S. citizens who are in the United States for any reason and need to renew a passport can usually apply through the embassy or consulate general of the country of which they are citizens. Most, but not all, embassies and consulates accept the submission of passport renewal applications and either process the request or forward them to a processing center.
On occasion, applicants will be required to mail completed forms to the country of origin even when an embassy is present in the United States.
Passport requirements, processing times, fees and supporting documents vary so much that it is best just to access the page for renewing a passport for the country of which you are a citizen.
