Passport Applications

My office may be able to help you expedite your passport application in an emergency, report lost passports, and monitor overseas travel restrictions.

Are you eligible for mail-in renewal? 

Renew by mail if you respond "Yes" to all statements below about your most recent passport:

  • I can submit it with my application.
  • 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. 

Please be sure to review the instructions on the DS82 or at this link to ensure you are eligible for a mail in renewal.
