Common Mistakes to Avoid

Using DS-82 when ineligible — if your passport was issued before age 16, is older than 15 years, or is damaged, you must use DS-11 and apply in person
Forgetting to include the old passport in the envelope (it is required)
Submitting a photo that doesn't meet State Department specifications (wrong size, glasses, wrong background)
Not including a certified copy of your name change document when your name differs
Sending the wrong payment amount or using a payment method that isn't accepted

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does passport renewal by mail take?

Routine processing takes 6-8 weeks. Expedited processing (additional $60 fee) takes 2-3 weeks. These times can vary during peak travel season.

Can I travel while my passport is being renewed?

Your old passport will be in transit or at the processing center, so you will not have a valid passport during this time. Plan your renewal outside of your travel dates, or pay for expedited processing.

Do I need a new photo for passport renewal?

Yes. You must submit a new passport photo taken within the last 6 months that meets current State Department specifications (2x2 inches, white background, no glasses).
