Frequently Asked Questions
How long does passport renewal take?
Routine processing takes 8-13 weeks. Expedited processing takes 5-7 weeks for an additional $60 fee. Emergency service at a passport agency can provide same-day or next-day service with proof of imminent travel (within 14 days). Processing times can vary seasonally.
Can I renew my passport by mail?
You can renew by mail if your most recent passport is undamaged, was issued within the last 15 years, was issued when you were age 16 or older, and is in your current name (or you can document a legal name change). Otherwise, you must apply in person.
How early should I renew my passport before traveling?
Apply at least 4-6 months before your travel date. Many countries require 3-6 months validity beyond your travel dates. During peak season (January-May), processing times are longer, so apply even earlier.
