Renewal Applicants

*If you already have a passport, you may be eligible to renew it. You can also correct information in your passport or report it lost or stolen.

*Adult Applying in Person: If you already have a passport but you are not eligible to renew it, you must apply in person. 

*Getting a New Passport for a Child: You cannot renew a passport for a child under age 16. You must apply again in person.

• Is not damaged (other than normal wear and tear),
• Has never been reported lost or stolen,
• Was issued within the last 15 years,
• Was issued when you were age 16 or older, and
• Was issued in your current name (or you can provide a document like a marriage certificate or divorce decree to show you have changed your name)

If you want to renew a limited validity passport that is valid for less than the normal period of 10 years, you must meet these requirements:

• One of your previous passports must have been issued for 10 years,
• Your passport cannot be limited because you’ve lost multiple passports, and
• Your passport cannot be limited because you’ve had multiple damaged passports
