Tired of old passports and ready to get a new one? It’s time to renew your passport. Renewing a passport is easier than you think!

The first thing you need to do if you are in the United States is to complete a DS-82 form. This can be found online or obtained from any U.S. Post Office. Once you have this completed, you will need to get a new passport photo taken. This needs to be a 2×2 picture that meets the size and quality standards of the U.S. Department of State.

Now you can present your application in person at an authorized passport acceptance facility, such as a post office. You need to bring your current passport, the completed DS-82 form, and a passport photo. You will also need to submit the appropriate fee and proof of U.S. citizenship. A passport renewal fee is usually lower than the fee for a new passport.

Once you have submitted your application, all you need to do is wait for it to be processed. It can take up to four to eight weeks for your renewed passport to be ready. If you need the passport sooner, you can submit the form with a request for expedited service for an additional fee.

If you are looking to renew a passport that is more than 5 years old and expired, you must submit a new passport application. This includes filling out a DS-11 form, submitting a passport photo, and presenting proof of citizenship.

Passport renewal is a simple process and can be done as long as you have all the necessary documents. So if you need a new passport, make sure to gather all the paperwork and present your application in person and you’ll have your new passport in no time.
