Are you eligible for mail-in renewal?
Renew by mail if you respond "Yes" to all statements below about your most recent passport:

- It is not damaged (other than normal wear and tear).
- I have never reported it lost or stolen.
- It was issued within the last 15 years.
- It was issued when I was age 16 or older.
- It was issued in my current name, or I can provide another document such as a marriage certificate or divorce decree that is evidence of my name change.
- It was not limited to less than the normal 10 year period of validity because I've lost multiple passports or I've had multiple damaged passports.
