How many stamps to mail a passport
The number of stamps required to mail a passport depends on the country and the type of mail service used. Here are some general guidelines:
USPS (United States Postal Service)

- For international mail, you'll need to use a Global Forever Stamp (currently $1.20) or a Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelope, which costs $24.95.

Priority Mail
- If you need to mail your passport quickly, you can use Priority Mail, which is a faster and more secure service. The cost of Priority Mail varies depending on the weight and size of the package, but it typically starts at around $6.95 for a small package.
Special considerations
- If you're mailing your passport from a post office or a shipping store, they may have specific requirements or restrictions for mailing passports.
- If you're mailing your passport to a government agency or a consulate, you may need to use a specific type of mail or a special service, such as certified mail or registered mail.
It's always a good idea to check with your local post office or the postal service of the country you're mailing to for the most up-to-date information on mailing a passport.
