What is a US Passport?
+
A U.S. passport is an official government document that certifies your identity and U.S. citizenship. It’s required for international travel by air and recommended for land and sea travel to most countries. Your passport serves as proof of citizenship and allows you to re-enter the United States.
I have never had a U.S. passport. How do I get one?
+
For a first-time passport, you’ll need to apply in person with Form DS-11, proof of U.S. citizenship (birth certificate or naturalization certificate), a valid photo ID, a passport photo, and payment for fees. We expedite this entire process for you, handling all paperwork and ensuring everything is submitted correctly. With our service, you can get your first passport in as fast as 3 business days instead of waiting 8-11 weeks.
How long does it take to get a first-time passport?
+
Standard government processing takes 8-11 weeks for routine service. With PassportsAndVisas.com, we can expedite your first-time passport application and have it delivered in 3-7 business days, depending on the service level you choose. This is especially helpful if you have upcoming travel plans.
What documents do I need for a first-time passport?
+
You’ll need: (1) Completed Form DS-11, (2) Proof of U.S. citizenship (certified birth certificate or naturalization certificate), (3) Valid photo identification (driver’s license or state ID), (4) One passport photo meeting State Department requirements, and (5) Payment for government fees plus our expediting service. We’ll guide you through gathering each document and review everything before submission.
How much does a first-time passport cost?
+
The government fee for a first-time adult passport book is $130, plus a $35 execution fee (total: $165). Our expediting service starts at $199 depending on processing speed, which includes expert review, error checking, hand-delivery to the passport agency, and insured return shipping. Total investment ranges from $364-$512 depending on how quickly you need your passport.
Do I need to apply in person for my first passport?
+
Technically, yes – first-time applicants must have their identity verified in person at a passport acceptance facility. However, with our service, we make this simple: you can complete our online application, have your documents reviewed by our experts, and we’ll guide you on the one brief in-person visit you’ll need (or we can arrange a mobile notary to come to you for an additional fee). This saves you hours compared to doing it yourself.
How do I renew my U.S. passport?
+
If you’re eligible for renewal by mail (passport issued when you were 16+, issued within last 15 years, in your current name or you can document name change, and undamaged), you can use Form DS-82. Simply complete our online form, send us your current passport, a new photo, and payment. We’ll expedite the entire renewal process and return your new passport along with your old one (canceled) in 3-7 days.
How long does passport renewal take?
+
Standard government renewal takes 8-11 weeks for routine service or 5-7 weeks for expedited service. With PassportsAndVisas.com, we can renew your passport in as fast as 3 business days with our fastest service, or 5-7 days with standard expediting. This is perfect if you have an upcoming trip or need your passport quickly.
Can I renew my passport if it’s expired?
+
Yes! As long as your passport was issued when you were 16 or older and hasn’t been expired for more than 15 years, you can renew by mail using Form DS-82. If it’s been expired longer than 15 years, you’ll need to apply as a first-time applicant. We handle both types of applications and will let you know which process applies to you.
What do I need to renew my passport?
+
You’ll need: (1) Your most recent passport, (2) One new passport photo, (3) Completed Form DS-82, and (4) Payment for government fees plus expediting service. That’s it! We make the process incredibly simple – you upload documents through our secure portal, we review everything, and handle all paperwork with the State Department.
How much does passport renewal cost?
+
The government renewal fee is $130 for a passport book. Our expediting service starts at $199 depending on how fast you need it, which includes expert document review, expedited processing, hand-delivery to the passport agency, and insured overnight return shipping. Total investment: $329-$477 depending on processing speed selected.
When should I renew my passport?
+
Many countries require your passport to be valid for 6 months beyond your travel dates. We recommend renewing your passport when it has 9-12 months of validity remaining, especially if you travel internationally. However, if your passport has already expired or you need to travel soon, we can expedite a renewal in as fast as 3 days.
How do I get a passport for my child?
+
Children under 16 must apply in person with both parents (or legal guardians) present. You’ll need Form DS-11, the child’s proof of U.S. citizenship (birth certificate), both parents’ IDs, a passport photo of the child, parental relationship evidence, and fees. We streamline this process by pre-filling forms, checking all documents, and expediting processing so you get your child’s passport in 3-7 days instead of 8-11 weeks.
Do both parents need to be present for a child’s passport?
+
Yes, both parents or legal guardians must appear in person with the child when applying. If one parent cannot appear, they must submit a notarized Form DS-3053 (Statement of Consent). We can help you navigate these requirements and arrange mobile notary services if needed. If you have sole custody, we’ll guide you on the required documentation.
How long is a child’s passport valid?
+
Passports for children under 16 are valid for 5 years (compared to 10 years for adults 16+). This is because children’s appearances change rapidly. When your child turns 16, they’ll need to apply for an adult passport, which will be valid for 10 years. Plan ahead as you’ll need to renew more frequently for minors.
How much does a child’s passport cost?
+
The government fee for a child’s passport (under 16) is $100 for the book, plus a $35 execution fee (total: $135). Our expediting service starts at $199 depending on speed, which includes expert review, error-checking, hand-delivery, and secure return shipping. Total investment: $334-$482 depending on how quickly you need the child’s passport.
Can a child renew their passport by mail?
+
No, children under 16 cannot renew by mail – they must always apply in person with both parents. However, if the child was 16 or older when their last passport was issued and it’s still within 15 years and in good condition, they can renew by mail as an adult. This is a common point of confusion that our experts help clarify.
What if my child doesn’t have a birth certificate?
+
You’ll need to obtain a certified copy of your child’s birth certificate from the vital records office in the state where they were born. If you were born abroad, you may use a Consular Report of Birth Abroad or Certificate of Citizenship. We can guide you through obtaining these documents if needed, though it will add time to the process. Contact us for personalized assistance.
What do I do if my passport is lost or stolen?
+
Act immediately: (1) Report it lost/stolen to the State Department using Form DS-64, (2) Apply for a replacement using Form DS-11 in person (not Form DS-82), and (3) File a police report if stolen. We can expedite your replacement passport in 3-7 days and guide you through every step, including reporting the loss to prevent fraud. Time is critical, especially if you have upcoming travel.
How long does it take to replace a lost passport?
+
Standard government replacement takes 8-11 weeks. With PassportsAndVisas.com, we can get you a replacement passport in as fast as 3 business days with our expedited service. If your passport was lost or stolen while traveling abroad, visit the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate immediately for emergency travel documents, then contact us for a full replacement upon return.
How much does it cost to replace a lost or stolen passport?
+
The government fee for replacing a lost/stolen passport is $130 plus a $35 execution fee (total: $165), same as a first-time application. Our expediting service starts at $199 depending on speed, which includes filing Form DS-64, completing Form DS-11, expert review, expedited processing, and secure delivery. Total investment: $364-$512 depending on how quickly you need it.
Can I use a police report instead of Form DS-64?
+
No, you must submit Form DS-64 (Statement Regarding a Lost or Stolen Passport) to the State Department, even if you filed a police report. The police report is additional documentation and helpful for insurance purposes, but it doesn’t replace DS-64. We’ll help you complete DS-64 properly to avoid any delays in getting your replacement passport.
Will I get my old passport number back?
+
No, your replacement passport will have a new passport number. Your old passport is permanently invalidated once reported lost or stolen to prevent identity theft and fraud. You’ll need to update any visas or travel authorizations (like ESTA) with your new passport number. We can provide guidance on this process.
What if I find my passport after reporting it lost?
+
Once a passport is reported lost or stolen, it’s permanently invalidated and cannot be used for travel, even if you find it later. Attempting to use it could result in being denied boarding or entry to a country. You must continue with the replacement process. Keep the found passport as proof of citizenship but surrender it if requested by authorities.
What qualifies as a damaged passport?
+
A passport is considered damaged if: the personal data page is torn or separated, water damage obscures information, significant tears in any pages, the cover is separating from the binding, unauthorized markings or alterations, or the chip in a biometric passport isn’t working. Minor wear and tear (bent corners, small stains) usually don’t require replacement, but if you’re unsure, send us a photo and we’ll advise whether you need a replacement.
How do I replace a damaged passport?
+
If your passport is damaged, you’ll need to apply in person using Form DS-11 (not DS-82 for renewal by mail), even if you would otherwise be eligible for renewal. Submit your damaged passport, a new photo, proof of identity, and fees. We expedite this process and can have your new passport delivered in 3-7 days. The damaged passport will be returned to you marked as canceled.
Can I travel with a damaged passport?
+
No, you should not attempt to travel with a damaged passport. You may be denied boarding by the airline or entry/exit by immigration officials. Many countries require your passport to be in good condition with all pages intact and information clearly readable. If you have upcoming travel and a damaged passport, contact us immediately – we can expedite a replacement in as fast as 3 days.
How much does it cost to replace a damaged passport?
+
If the damage was not your fault (normal wear and tear during validity period), there’s no fee for a passport book replacement (though you pay the $35 execution fee). If damage was due to negligence, you pay the full $130 replacement fee plus $35 execution fee. Our expediting service starts at $199 depending on speed. We’ll help determine if you’re eligible for the no-fee replacement. Total investment: $234-$512 depending on eligibility and speed needed.
Will I lose my valid visas if I replace a damaged passport?
+
Visas in a damaged passport may still be valid if the damaged passport is returned to you with your new one. You can travel with both – your new passport for identification and your old (canceled) passport containing valid visas. However, check with the embassy of the country that issued the visa, as some countries may require you to transfer the visa to your new passport. We can provide guidance specific to your situation.
How can I prevent passport damage?
+
Use a passport cover or holder to protect against wear and tear, keep your passport in a waterproof bag when traveling, don’t fold or bend it, keep it away from extreme heat or moisture, never leave it in a hot car, don’t write in it or add stickers (except official visa stamps), and store it in a secure, dry place when not traveling. Children should be supervised when handling passports. A little prevention goes a long way!
How do I change my name on my passport?
+
If your name changed within 1 year of passport issuance, you can get a free name change update using Form DS-5504. If it’s been over a year, you’ll need to apply for a new passport using Form DS-82 (by mail) or DS-11 (in person) depending on your situation. You must submit legal proof of name change (marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order). We expedite the entire process and ensure all documentation is correct.
What documents do I need for a passport name change?
+
You’ll need: (1) Your current passport, (2) Original or certified copy of legal name change document (marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order – photocopies not accepted), (3) One new passport photo, and (4) Completed form (DS-5504 if within 1 year, otherwise DS-82 or DS-11). We’ll review your specific situation and tell you exactly which documents and forms you need.
How long does a passport name change take?
+
Government processing for a name change passport takes 8-11 weeks for routine service. With PassportsAndVisas.com, we can expedite your name change passport in 3-7 business days depending on the service level you choose. This is especially important if you have upcoming travel booked under your new name – airlines require your ticket name to match your passport exactly.
Is there a fee for changing my name on my passport?
+
If you’re using Form DS-5504 (name change within 1 year of issuance), there’s no government fee – it’s free. If you’re using Form DS-82 or DS-11 (name change after 1 year), you’ll pay the standard renewal/new passport fees ($130 passport book, plus $35 execution fee if applying in person). Our expediting service starts at $199 depending on speed. Total cost: $199 (if free update) or $329-$512 (if paying renewal fees).
Can I travel with my old passport after a name change?
+
Technically you can enter/exit the U.S. with your old passport if it’s still valid, but you may face complications if your airline ticket, credit cards, or IDs show your new name. Most airlines require your ticket name to match your passport exactly or they may deny boarding. We strongly recommend updating your passport BEFORE booking travel under your new name. If you must travel urgently after a name change, we can expedite a new passport in 3 days.
What if I changed my name multiple times?
+
You must provide legal documentation for each name change that occurred since your previous passport was issued. For example, if you’ve married, divorced, and remarried, you’d need all three documents (first marriage certificate, divorce decree, second marriage certificate) to show the complete chain of name changes. We can help you determine exactly which documents you need and ensure they’re all properly certified and submitted.
