Passport renewal is the process of filling out the proper forms
and other communications with the appropriate bureau, so that your
passport can once again become legal documentation for moving about the
globe as you age. Passport renewal can be processed quickly and easily.
In just a couple of days, you can obtain your renewed passport and
travel to the foreign country where you wish to visit.
If you have
a passport that is not damaged and was secured within the past 15
years, you can have your passport renewed by mail. This is true also if
you were at least 16 years old when your old passport was issued and you
still have the same name that appears the passport. When renewing your
passport by mail, you have to complete the Application for Passport By
Mail form and then attach your recent photo, two identical passport
photos, a $67 fee and, if you want expedited service, an additional
expedite fee. Mail all documents in a padded envelope to the National
Passport Center.
Meanwhile, if your passport was stolen, lost, or
damaged, or if it has expired and was issued more than 15 years ago, you
have to renew your passport in person. You should also apply in person
if your previous passport has expired and was issued when you were below
16 years old and if your name has changed since your passport was
issued. Just like in renewal by mail, you also have to submit your
recent photo and two identical passport photos.
