Missing passport from 9 years ago by: Anonymous Question: Hello! I had a passport back when I was 17, but I lost it. It's been 9 years since then and I haven't needed to travel anywhere. Now I'm finally ready to apply for a new passport and I'm wondering if it's necessary to fill out the paperwork for a missing/lost passport or can I just apply for the new one? I have very little information about my old one, as it has been so long and my memory isn't the best. Please let me know what the best course of action would be. Thanks!

Applied for passport at age 15, issued passport at age 16 by: Anonymous Question: My mom applied for my passport when I was a few weeks before turning 16. So my passport reads that it was issued at age 16 but only has 5 years of validity. So the government filed my passport as minor at age 15 but issued it when I was 16. I'm just confused as to what they go by because shouldn’t my passport have a 10 year validity since it was issued when I was 16? Im having trouble renewing my passport because my passport cannot be used as proof of citizenship. Answer: A passport's period of validity is based on the applicant's age upon the application submission, not upon the passport's issuance. The five-year validity is correct since your application was submitted before you turned 16. The passport issued as a minor cannot be used as proof of citizenship so you need to submit other document/s. If you are a natural-born citizen, your original U.S. birth certificate or a certified copy must be submitted. If you acquired citizenship through your parent/s, you may submit proof of derived citizenship. This can be your parent/s' naturalization certificate, U.S. passport or certificate of citizenship. If none of these are available, you may request for a file search. The result of the file search will be used as your proof of citizenship for the new passport application.
