Note: If you're renewing a passport that was issued within the last 15 years, you can use Form DS-82, which is the application for a passport by mail. If your passport was issued more than 15 years ago, you'll need to apply in person at a regional passport agency or a passport acceptance facility.
Additional Tips:

- Use a secure and trackable shipping method to ensure your documents arrive safely.
- Keep a copy of your application and supporting documents for your records.
- If you're renewing a passport for a minor (under 16), you'll need to provide additional documentation, such as proof of citizenship and identity.
- If you're renewing a passport that's been lost, stolen, or damaged, you'll need to provide additional documentation, such as a police report or a notarized statement.
Processing Time:
The processing time for a passport renewal typically takes 6-8 weeks, but expedited service is available for an additional fee. You can expedite your application for an additional $60 fee, which will reduce the processing time to 2-3 weeks.
Tracking Your Application:
Once you've mailed your application, you can track its status online using the U.S. Department of State's Passport Application Status Tool. Simply enter your application number or last name to track the status of your application.
