Ranked #43,890 in Travel & Places, #1,090,721 overall
Renewing a passport will not be that difficult for the individual looking to complete this task. People that want to renew American passports through the mail will have to meet certain criteria, but if they do meet such criteria, the already easy process will be even easier. When the process is done through an expediting service, the process will be very quick.
Make Sure You Meet The Requirements
Only people who meet the requirements can renew their passport via mail. For one, the individual's most recent passport must not be damaged and must be submitted with the renewal application. If the old passport was issued over 15 years ago, the individual can no longer renew via the mail. Similar to this, the passport being mailed in must have been acquired when the individual was sixteen or older.
To renew the passport by mail, complete an application for U.S. Passport by Mail. This form may be found online and may be completed electronically or printed and hand-written. The applicant must mail the application with his/her most recent U.S. Passport, two identical photos, the passport fee, and documentation substantiating name change, if applicable.
This is not the only requirements of the passport photograph. It must also be in color and reflect a current appearance. Though it is expected that an individual may change his or her appearance after the passport has been issued, at the time of acquiring the passport, an individual should make sure that the picture represents his or her current appearance. The photograph must also be a certain size and have the head contained within the photograph in a certain matter. For all the stipulations regarding the photograph, check online.
It is recommended that the envelope be mailed using some type of traceable delivery service. This will enable the applicant to track the package and provide proof of mailing, should the package become lost and need to be traced. The package material should be made of a durable substance in order to prevent it from coming open or getting damaged.
For the individual who needs the passport as quickly as possible through USA passport service, he or she can choose to use the expedited service the government offers. This will cost extra, but it will cut the time the process takes in half. For those that need the passport even quicker, there are independent expediting services that, for a little extra money, will get the passport to the individual in as little as one day.
Individuals who were minors when they first acquired their passport will, unfortunately, not be able to renew their passport through the mail. Though the mail process is an easier process, going to a facility will not be difficult either. These individuals can also use an expediting service to make everything go quickly.
It takes as much time to renew passports through the mail as it does to pay bills through the mail. Only certain individuals are permitted to renew their passports this way. If an individual finds him or herself unsure if he or she will be permitted to renew through the mail, then he or she should check the government's Web site regarding the matter or sing up with a pass port service to expedite the process.
