Renew Your
Passport Fast.

With PassportsAndVisas.com, as fast as 3-4 Days. Our speeds are Emergency 3-4 days, Rush 6 days, Priority 8 days, Essential 12 days, counted in business days from the day we receive your complete documents, and your new passport comes back to you by tracked overnight delivery. Doing it yourself, the State Department currently quotes 4–6 weeks for routine processing or 2–3 weeks with its expedite fee, and neither figure includes shipping time in each direction. If you travel in the next two months, an expedited service is the safest way to have your passport back in time. Full answer →

Our fastest speed, Emergency Expedited, returns your renewed passport in 3-4 Days, counted in business days from when we receive your complete documents. Add one business day for your documents to reach us by overnight courier and one for the delivery back to you. If your trip is sooner than that, call us at 800-860-8610 before you order and we will tell you honestly what is possible for your date. Full answer →

If you travel in the next two months, usually yes. Routine government processing plus shipping both ways can take 8 weeks or more, and many countries refuse entry if your passport has less than 6 months of validity left when you arrive. If your trip is several months away and your passport is still valid, the government's routine service may be all you need, and we would rather tell you that than sell you speed you don't need.

Ideally about 9 months before it expires, as the State Department suggests. Many countries require at least 6 months of validity remaining when you arrive, and airlines can refuse to board you without it. If your trip is close and your passport falls short of that, an expedited renewal fixes it in days rather than weeks. Full answer →

There are two parts: our service fee and the government fee. Our service fee is Emergency $449, Rush $349, Priority $249, Essential $199, depending on how fast you need your passport. The State Department's fee for an adult renewal is $216.87, which includes the $130 passport book fee and the $60 expedite fee. Our fee covers preparing your DS-82, checking your application, courier submission to a passport agency and tracked return, and you see every fee before you pay. Full answer →

In three steps. First, answer a few questions online and choose your speed; it takes about 10 minutes. Second, we prepare your Form DS-82 and send you a checklist and a prepaid overnight shipping label. Third, you send us your current passport, a new photo and your signed form, and our courier takes your application to a passport agency. Your new passport comes back to your door by tracked overnight delivery. Full answer →

Neither. A Form DS-82 renewal through us needs no appointment and no visit anywhere. You send us your passport, photo and signed form by prepaid overnight courier from home, and our courier submits your application at a passport agency for you. No lines, no booking and no time off work. Full answer →

Not quickly. The State Department's online renewal can't be expedited and isn't available to everyone, so it isn't an option when you're short on time. For speed, an expedited renewal with Form DS-82 is the way to go: we prepare and check it, then our courier takes it to a passport agency. Full answer →

Three things: your most recent U.S. passport, one new 2x2 inch color passport photo taken in the last 6 months (plain white background, no glasses), and your signed Form DS-82, which we prepare for you. If your name has changed, add a certified copy of your marriage certificate, divorce decree or court order. We check everything before it's submitted. Full answer →

Not internationally. Renewing means sending in your current passport, so you won't have one until the new passport arrives. Plan your renewal for a gap between trips and choose a speed that keeps the time without a passport short. If a visa application will hold your passport while you need to travel, ask us about a second passport. Full answer →

Yes, if your most recent passport was issued in the last 15 years, you were 16 or older when it was issued, it isn't damaged, lost or stolen, and it's in your current name, or you can show your legal name change with a marriage certificate, divorce decree or court order. If not, you need Form DS-11, and we expedite those too. Full answer →

You can't renew with Form DS-82 if your most recent passport was issued more than 15 years ago, was issued before you turned 16, is significantly damaged, or was lost or stolen, or if your name has changed and you can't document it. In any of those cases you apply with Form DS-11 as a new applicant, which must be done in person. We expedite DS-11 applications too, through our new passport service. Full answer →

Yes. If your name changed through marriage, divorce or a court order, you can still renew with Form DS-82 by including a certified copy of the marriage certificate, divorce decree or court order. Your new passport is issued in your new name. If you can't document the change, you'll need Form DS-11 instead. Full answer →

Yes, as long as it was issued within the last 15 years and you were 16 or older when it was issued. What counts is the issue date, not the expiration date, so a passport that expired recently usually still qualifies for a DS-82 renewal. If it was issued more than 15 years ago, you'll need Form DS-11. Full answer →

U.S. passport renewal is only for U.S. citizens. If you hold another country's passport, including U.S. green card holders, your passport is renewed by your own country's government, usually through its embassy or consulate. We can still help with your travel: we handle visas for travelers of any nationality. Full answer →
