Renewing your passport is easy to do if you follow the steps below:
Check your passport expiration date
Make sure your current passport has expired or will expire within the next 6 months. You cannot renew a passport that is still valid.
Complete the renewal application form
You can find the DS-82 form online at the U.S. Department of State website. Fill it out completely and sign it with your current legal name.
Submit your application and photos
Include your completed form, recent photos, and passport fees. You can renew by mail or in person at a passport acceptance facility such as a post office.
Wait for your renewed passport
Processing times vary but you should get your new passport within 4-6 weeks after submitting your application. Check the passport status online.
Following these steps will ensure you renew your passport with no issues so you can travel when you need to.
