Check the issue date, not just the expiry date
Read the issue date on the passport you will submit and confirm your age when it was issued. Both facts matter for renewal eligibility.

Choose the form for your situation, review the completed pages, then download, print and finish the required signing steps.
Answers are sent temporarily to prepare previews and PDFs and are not saved in our database. A temporary draft stays in this browser tab during checkout.
Who this form is for
Standard applications in the United States using U.S. addresses. You can submit the most recent passport, it was issued at age 16 or older less than 15 years ago, it is undamaged and has never been reported lost or stolen, and you meet the form’s validity requirements. The editor supports an unchanged name or a marriage or court-order change with certified evidence.
Cases this editor does not cover
- Urgent, special-issuance and overseas cases.
- Lost, stolen or damaged passports, child-passport renewal and unsupported limited-validity situations.
- Extra sheets, answers that do not fit or spelling the editor cannot preserve.
Three details to check
Match the book and card choices
Select the document you want, then confirm which current book or card must be mailed. If you want your first card but have a book, the official instructions require the book; the reverse also applies.
Official instructionsComplete the mailing packet after printing
Sign and date the form. Attach the photo with four staples as shown, include any certified name-change evidence, and use the official address for your location and service level.
