Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes. You must submit one recent passport photo that meets U.S. Department of State requirements. As of 2026, photos edited or enhanced with AI or retouching apps are not accepted.

Can I renew an expired passport?

Yes, as long as your passport was issued within the last 15 years, when you were 16 or older, and is in your current name. If it was issued longer ago, you will need to apply for a new passport in person.

How long is a renewed passport valid?

Can I renew a lost, stolen, or damaged passport?

No. Lost, stolen, or damaged passports cannot be renewed and must be replaced by applying in person. We can help you understand the right next steps.

Will I get my old passport back?

Yes. Your current passport is submitted with your renewal and returned by the U.S. Department of State in a separate mailing, usually within about two weeks of your new passport arriving.

How early should I renew my passport before it expires?

Renew as early as possible. Many countries require at least six months of passport validity beyond your travel dates, so renewing well ahead of expiration helps you avoid travel disruptions.
