Note: The status is typically available online 5-7 days after applying. 

TO RENEW AN EXISTING PASSPORT, follow the steps on the renewal application form to mail in your passport renewal. We provide passport photos on-site for $10 each, or you may provide your own. Passports are renewable up to fifteen (15) years from the date of issuance. After the fifteen year period has expired, you must apply as a first time applicant.

It is important to realize that you will not be issued a Passport immediately. The completed application will be sent to the Passport Services in the US Department of State. Due to the high volume of U.S. Passport applications, processing has taken up to 10 weeks from date of remittance. The U.S. Department of State does offer an expedited application option for an additional fee. To view the current processing times, please visit the Department of State’s website here.
