People Can Renew Their U.S. Passport Online In Under 15 Minutes

Not everyone has access to online passport renewal. However, many Americans will be permitted to do so provided they meet the standards outlined below by the US Department of State:

• You are over the age of 25, and your previous passport was valid for ten years.
• Your most recent passport was issued during the last 15 years, but more than 9 years before the date you want to submit your application.
• You are not changing your gender, name, birth date, or location.
• You will not be leaving the country for at least six weeks after submitting your application.
• You’re merely applying for a basic passport as a tourist.
• You live in the United States (territories count as well).
• You have your passport in your possession, it is in good condition and undamaged, and it has not been lost or stolen.
• You can pay for your passport using your bank’s ACH or a credit or debit card.
• You can upload a JPG file of your passport photo.
• You are aware that as soon as you submit your application, your present passport will become invalid and you will be unable to travel outside of the nation.
