Can i mail 2 passport renewals in one envelope

According to the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs, you can submit multiple passport applications in one envelope, but there are some conditions and considerations to keep in mind:

1. Same applicant type: You can submit multiple passport applications for the same type of applicant, such as multiple adult renewals or multiple child renewals.
2. Same mailing address: All applications must be mailed to the same address, which is the address listed on the applications.
3. Same payment method: You can use one payment method for all applications, such as a single check or money order.
4. Separate applications: Each application must be completed separately and in its entirety, including all required documents and fees.

However, there are some scenarios where it's not recommended to mail multiple passport applications in one envelope:

1. Different applicant types: If you're submitting applications for different types of applicants, such as an adult renewal and a child's first-time application, it's best to mail them separately to avoid any potential issues.
2. Different mailing addresses: If the applicants have different mailing addresses, you'll need to mail each application separately to ensure they reach the correct address.
3. Special circumstances: If an applicant has a special circumstance, such as a name change or a change in citizenship, it's best to mail their application separately to ensure it's processed correctly.

To be safe, you can always contact the National Passport Information Center (NPIC) at 1-877-487-2778 or visit their website at travel.state.gov to confirm their requirements for mailing multiple passport applications in one envelope.
