Whether or not you can renew your passport at the Nacogdoches County District Clerks Office Dos depends on its current status. If your previous passport was issued within the last 15 years, you were over the age of 16 when it was issued, and it’s undamaged, you can renew by mail using Form DS-82. You can pick up a DS-82 form from the District Clerk’s Office. Mail the completed form, your old passport, a new photo, and payment to the address specified on the form. However, if any of those conditions aren’t met (e.g., it was issued more than 15 years ago, you were a minor, it’s damaged), you’ll need to apply in person using Form DS-11, which *can* be done at the District Clerk’s office.

There are exceptions, such as if one parent has sole legal custody, in which case, documentation proving sole custody must be presented. It’s always best to call the office ahead of time to clarify any specific requirements based on your family’s situation.
