Passport renewal for adult with previous passport issued as a minor

by Debra
(New York, NY USA)

My daughter's now expired passport was issued in 2006 when she was 14. She is now 19 and requires a new passport. Your website says that passport renewal by mail is not available if the previous passport was issued when the citizen was a minor. Does this rule apply even though she is 19 years old now?

Also, there are no options on the Passport Scheduling Phone line that seem to fit needing to "renew a passport in person because it is not allowed to be renewal by mail AND No, we are not traveling within 2 weeks."

Question: 1. Can a 19-year old renew her passport by mail if her previous one was issued when she was 14?

Answer: No, she must appear in person at an application acceptance facility or a regional agency if she needs her passport quickly.

Question: 2. If the 19-year old must appear in person to renew, must she also be accompanied by a parent (one parent with a notarized letter indicating it is acceptable to the second parent that she is renewing her passport)?

Answer: No, she does not need to be accompanied by a parent. Only minors ages 17 or younger must appear with parents.

Question: 3. If the 19-year old must appear in person, which Passport phone line option should be selected to get the appointment (she is not traveling within 2 weeks)?

Answer: If your daughter is not traveling within 2 weeks, she does not need to apply at the regional passport agency and, therefore, does not need to schedule an appointment through the toll-free number.

She can submit the application Form DS-11 and all supporting documents at a nearby passport office. Each office has its own telephone number. Click the links below for more information.

Routine processing is estimated to take up to 5 weeks. Your daughter can request expedited service in order to obtain her passport in up to 3 weeks. There is an extra fee for this service and she will need to include a copy of her itinerary.

New Adult Passport
by: Anonymous

Question: I was issued a passport when I was under the age of 15. I currently need a new adult one.

Do I apply as if I have never had a passport before? When it asked if I had been issued a passport before, I put no since I was younger than 15. Will this affect my application process?

Answer: You need to indicate that you have been issued a passport in the past. This can be tricky when you are using the online form filler. I recommend that you download Form DS-11 instead and complete it by hand.

Make sure you use black ink and do not sign the form yet. You have to do that after you have taken the oath as an adult applicant at the passport office.

19-year-old with a minor passport that expires in 5 months
by: Anonymous

Question: Our son is 19 and he has a passport issued when he was 15 years old. The passport is expiring in June. He is currently attending University in Canada without his own transportation. What are his options for getting a new passport? Also, if he is coming back to the US for a vacation when will his passport be valid until to travel back and forth?

Answer: Since the passport was issued when he was a minor, your passport needs to apply for his first adult passport in person. He needs to do this at the U.S. Embassy in Ottawa or at any of the U.S. Consulates located all over Canada. Public transport is available to these places since they are located in major cities.

As for your second question, your son may use his passport to travel between the United States and Canada as long as it is valid.

Question: I got my passport when I was 14, and it is currently expired. So I filled out and submitted an application for my adult passport and I submitted my old passport, but I didn’t put the information from my passport onto my application. Would that affect my acceptance of getting my new passport?

Answer: It should not affect your application. But if you submitted the old passport as proof of citizenship instead of your birth certificate or citizenship certificate (whichever is applicable), there will be an issue. Passport services will reach out to you with instructions on where to send the appropriate documents.

Need to renew my now adult son's passport
by: Anonymous

Question: My son is traveling in 3 days and he just found out that his passport was only valid for 5 years since he was 15 when we first applied for it. Can he renew in as fast as 3 days? Help!

Answer: Passports issued to minors cannot be renewed. Being an adult now, he now needs to apply in person for his first full-validity passport. He can do this at a regional passport agency. Appointments are typically required but walk-ins may be entertained if he arrives before the agency opens.

Please prepare the following requirements:

1. Form DS-11
2. Original or certified copy of his birth certificate plus photocopy
3. Proof of identity plus photocopy
4. One new passport photo
5. Payment for application and expedite fees.

Regional agencies may issue the passport on the same or next day but there is no guarantee. They process applications in 1 to 8 business days. If you want to ensure that he gets the passport in ample time before his trip, we recommend employing the services of a private passport expediter.

Passport Issued at 16
by: Anonymous

Question: My parents applied for my passport when I was 15 but the passport was issued after my 16th birthday however it still expired within 5 years. I’m confused because it was issued after i turned 16, wouldn’t that be my first adult passport? So wouldn’t i be able to renew via mail? The confusing part is that it expired after 5 years. (issued May 2013, 16th birthday was March 2013, passport expired May 2018)

Answer: In order for the passport to have 10 years (adult) validity, the application should have been submitted AFTER your 16th birthday. Since it was submitted when you were still 15, it was processed as a minor passport application.

In order to obtain your first adult passport, you need to submit the application in person at a local facility.

Eligible for Passport Renewal?
by: Anonymous

Question: Hello. My current passport was issued when I was 17 years old. It was valid for 10 years. It expires in about 2 weeks. I'm 27 now. Is 17 considered a minor age for passports?

Thank you.

Passport renewal for adult with previous passport issued as a minor
by: David

Question: My son applied at our local passport office in Maryland in person. He was issued a passport at 15 as a minor. He went in to the office with all the required documents and payments and they sent his application in. We just got a letter stating he is not eligible to use the passport renewal application because the book submitted was issued prior to his 16th birthday. They retained his passport fee. Why is this happening? He did it at the office and it should be completed correctly. Please explain.

Answer: Passports issued to minors age 15 and under cannot be renewed. Therefore, Form DS-82 is not the applicable form. Your son should have completed Form DS-11 and submitted it in person at a local acceptance facility.

New passport for 18 year old who was 15 when issued
by: Anonymous

Question: My 18-year-old daughter would like to travel to Canada but her passport is now expired. She got it when she was 15. Does that require her to get a renewal or a new passport? Can she enter Canada with an expired passport? And then re enter the U.S.? If she needs a new passport can she get one same day in the Burlington VT passport office even though she doesn’t reside there? And will she need her birth certificate as well as expired passport?

Answer: If the passport was issued when she was 15, it should be valid until she is 20. Please double-check the expiration date on the passport's data page.

If it is indeed expired, she needs to apply in person and submit her requirements, including the original or a certified copy of her birth certificate as evidence of U.S. citizenship. Same-day service is available at the Vermont Passport Agency on South Main Street in St. Albans. However, there is no guarantee that a passport will be issued on the same day; regional agencies typically process applications in 1 to 8 business days.

While U.S. citizens may enter Canada with just citizenship evidence and a valid government-issued ID, she will still need a valid U.S. passport book or card to re-enter the United States.

Answer: Passport application forms need to be filled in only with information that is true and correct. Please indicate that you have been issued a passport in the past and put NA or 'Not Applicable' on the space provided for the passport number. Also, it would be good to include a signed statement explaining why you do not have the information.
