U.S. Passport Service

Before visiting a foreign country, you should ensure that all your travel concerns are addressed. Here are a few of the most common questions my office receives that deal with passports:

How can I renew my existing passport?

If you already have a passport that is not damaged, was issued in the past 15 years, was received after your 16th birthday, and has your same name, you can apply for a passport renewal by mail.

I can't wait for the normal six week processing time of my application. Can I request an expedite?

Yes. For an additional fee, you can request expedite processing which normally takes two weeks.
