Can we send 2 passport renewal in one mail
According to the official guidelines of the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Consular Affairs, which is responsible for issuing U.S. passports, you can submit multiple passport applications in one envelope, but there are some conditions and limitations:
- Same applicant: You can submit multiple passport applications for the same applicant (e.g., a family member) in one envelope, as long as all applications are for the same type of passport (e.g., adult, child, or renewal).
- Different applicants: You cannot submit passport applications for different individuals in the same envelope. Each applicant must have their own separate application and supporting documents.
- Additional fees: If you submit multiple passport applications in one envelope, you will need to pay the applicable fees for each application. The current fee for a U.S. passport book is $110 for adults (16 and older) and $80 for children (15 and younger), with an additional $35 execution fee.
- Processing time: The processing time for multiple passport applications submitted in one envelope may be longer than for a single application. The U.S. Department of State recommends allowing 6-8 weeks for routine service and 2-3 weeks for expedited service.
- Special circumstances: If you have a specific situation, such as a family emergency or a critical travel need, you may want to contact the National Passport Information Center (NPIC) to discuss your options. They may be able to accommodate your request or provide guidance on the best course of action.
To submit multiple passport applications in one envelope, make sure to:
- Use a large envelope (at least 9.5 inches x 12.5 inches) to accommodate all the applications and supporting documents.
- Ensure each application is complete and includes all required documents and information.
- Pay the applicable fees for each application.
- Sign and date each application in the presence of a passport acceptance agent.
Remember to check the official U.S. Department of State website for the most up-to-date information on passport application requirements and processing times.
