If your passport has recently expired (within the last 5 years), you likely qualify to renew by mail or online using the DS-82 form.
We do NOT process form DS-82. This form is used to renew by mail or online, if eligible. You can check if you are eligible to renew by mail here. If you prefer that we process your application, you may only use form DS-11 and make an appointment with us. We will treat your request as a “new” passport, and you will pay the federally mandated Acceptance Fee of $35.00 (Cash, Money order, or Cashier’s check only) in addition to the fees that you will pay to the U.S. Department of State.
If your passport has been expired for 5 years or longer, or you are otherwise ineligible to renew by mail or online, follow the steps listed on the page “First-Time Applicants”, being sure to add information regarding your previous passport on page 2 of the application form (DS-11).
