US Passport Renewals
U.S. Passport renewals can be obtained easily through either the U.S. Department of State Passport Services or a private passport expediting service.
US Passport Renewals by the State Department
You can renew your passport by mail if...
- your present passport is not damaged;
- you received the passport within the past 15 years;
- you were over age 16 when it was issued;
- you still have the same name, or can legally document your name change.
If you don´t meet these conditions, you will have to apply for your US passport renewal in person.
If you meet the criteria, you can renew your passport by mail. To do so, you must first fill out Form DS-82 (opens new window), Application for Passport by Mail. Send in the application, along with your present valid or expired passport, two identical passport photos and a check for $75 payable to the U.S. Department of State
If your name has changed, you must include a certified copy of the legal document that verifies this fact. "Copy" does not mean a memeographed copy. This must be an original, certified document.
All these items must be sent in a padded envelope to the following address:
National Passport Center
P.O. Box 371971
Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7971
You should expect your passport to be returned to you within 6 weeks to 3 months. The State Department´s expedited services take 2 to 4 weeks. Neither of these are guaranteed. If you need your passport renewed more quickly, you will have to count on...
