I submitted online with expedited service on 12/16/2022. Today is 3/14/2023. Almost 3 months...still in process. I called and waited for more than 2 hours and gave up. Today I called again. I talked to three different people and they kept passing my call to other. It has been two hours and I am listening to the waiting music and the recorded voice. I am really curious this department or service is actually run by U.S. Gov't

What a US Passport backlog mess ! Co-workers just fell under the 14 day international travel mark and called in real early made an appointment for expediate pps ! They had applied in later Nov 2022 for online renewal for four in the family and never got any emails or feedback ! They had to go into emergency mode on this one and did get all four pps made in one day ! I myself applied online in early Jan and have no feedback or updates yet ! My 14 day international travel window will be mid March here ! Poor Dept of State customer service ! I would like to see how they actually process US pp renewals from the database to the physical book making ! Hand processed with limited machines ! 350 million of us living here and PPP government ! I have seen and been with others at their countries pp service centers and they are way better with cheerful staff and plenty of machines to create them !

Apparently there is a glitch where those who renewed on Februrary 6-13 are not able to get their status. If your status says not available, state department is working to get your passport out.

There is a question with asterisk in the application asking whether card/passport will be expiring within one year. Mine has expired last year so I had to check this box to move to the next page, and since online eligibility page does not mention that one has to have an active card/passport, unless the card/passport has been expired for more than 5 years. Please let me know if that was not the correct way . I believe that question needs to be removed or eligibility page should mention to have an active passport. Thanks

okay, Im just starting to renew my process

[@michaelhorgan9525]

Online Passport renewals are back! State department will be launching a new beta online passport renewal system similar to the old one where you can renew online and upload a digital photo of your choice. Only routine processing will be available at this time and your old passport will be deactivated, so you cannot travel with it while waiting for an online renewal. If you need faster service you can renew by mail using form DS-82 or get an appointment at the state department agencies. Photos are going to be different as you can now send them a 600x600 or higher photo with a file size of 54 kb but no bigger than 10mb. Use a white or off white background. Only color photos are accepted (no black and white photos). No glasses or hats are allowed but head coverings are allowed for religious reasons. Oh and no filters or using digital tools to key out the background. Allow room in the photo so you can use their crop tool. Other than that the process is similar to this video.

[@michaelhorgan9525]

You cannot do any name and/or gender changes with this new service.

[@TheVail1234]

It's crazy that you have to mail your US passport and write down the SSN in the application to renew it, and it's almost impossible or impossible at all to do it in person.

[@michaelhorgan9525]

You can do it in person if you have an urgent need to travel and/or life or death of a spouse or immediate family member at a passport agency done by the state department. Appointments only and they do accept card payments as well.

[@pannapatel866]

It is not good process After 11 weeks still my in process status is not updated. I still not receive passport. People who applied by mail got it faster. I called but they don't have any info either. Don't apply online until process get stable.

Question for anyone who can help: I plan on going to Asia over Thanksgiving 2023 and my current passport expires in April 2024, so it won't be valid as it'll expire within 6 months. I want to renew it right away, but I will be going to Mexico over the next few months for dental work. I understand that in the US passport renewal process, I need to send my current passport back. How do I avoid this? Surely there must be a way? I don't have a passport card and I wish I got one as I understand you can use a card in lieu of your passport at the Southern Border. Maybe I just declare my passport missing and request a new one? Will that take longer than an expedited normal renewal? Thanks in advance!

[@michaelhorgan9525]

Best way for you is to try and get an urgent travel appointment but expedited is 7-9 weeks. You might have time to do it expedited.

[@michaelhorgan9525]

You can also add a passport card with your renewal by marking both and making sure that the check or money order is for both book and card + any expedited processing fees.

[@michaelleach4868]

I lost my password when I moved. Don't know the expiration date. What should I do?

[@michaelhorgan9525]

You can fill out a DS-64, and then fill out a DS-11 and present those with an in person appointment. Fill out as much as you can with those forms. Otherwise if it has expired you could just do a DS-11. You will need a proof of citizenship, and proof of ID but you can also do a file search for $150 on top of the passport fees to look up that previous passport. Otherwise use a CRBA, birth certificate, Certificate of citizenship or Naturalization certificate.

Your children are in fact US Citizens so you can get them a Passport through INA 320. You can also apply for their Certificate of Citizenships by filling out the N-600 form.

Its been almost a year now i m waiting for his passport ..can he re-apply while waiting for his previous passport?

[@debieklenncaptan6024]

Hi same situation here. My Fiance renew his passport since last year February 2022 and until now February 2023 still no update and he went to post office they said still processing.

[@stoundingresults]

If it's processing at least they received paperwork. I would wait and if you can get a hold of customer service ask.

[@dannept6567]

Can I request it to be expedited? I need mine in 4 weeks

[@michaelhorgan9525]

You can apply for urgent service and that should get you an appointment with proof of travel. Another option is to do mail in renewal with expedited processing and 1-2 day shipping.

[@franciscoorozco9695]

what is the link to renew your passport online

[@michaelhorgan9525]

It is currently down at the moment, but will come back eventually. For now you can renew your passport by mail.

[@wandaalger6845]

My passport expires in August 2023. How far in advance should I begin renewal?

[@michaelhorgan9525]

You will need to renew by mail as online is not working right now. I would follow the ds 82 form and include a compliant photo stapled to the application, check or money order for the right amount to the US department of state, and your passport.

[@michaelhorgan9525]

@Barry Weaver That is the right answer. :)

My kid applied in person and got her passport within 6 weeks. I applied online and still no passport after 7 weeks. Should have applied it by mail. Edit: finally got my online passport. It tooks 8 weeks for standard process. Don’t trust online status, it isn’t real time.

Good afternoon, my daughter is 16 years old and her passport will expire on February 6th, can she travel on January 26th back to the USA from London with an almost expiring passport? Thank you very much!!

[@maneeshamukhi]

Is she already in London with an American passport? Most countries will not let you in if you don't have at least 3-6 months left on your passport. If she's already there and returning home to the U.S., it might be ok. She can check with the airlines and U.S. Embassy.

How Far in Advance Can I Renew My US Passport?

[@elizabethmarquez3769]

ONLINE APPLICATION RECEIVED JAN 22 2023 , 9.5 WEEKS LATER , IT IS STILL PROCESSING !

[@maya_meseee]

Did you ever receive it?

[@carebear1424]

I turned 20 so i can’t do it online I’m Confused

[@michaelhorgan9525]

You would need to schedule an appointment and renew in person using a DS-11. If you still have a previous passport that can serve as proof of citizenship. Child passports cannot be renewed by mail or online so I assume you previously had a 5 year or child passport.

[@tuanho87]

@@michaelhorgan9525 where would I need to go if I need to do it in person? I’m from Dallas. And how would I make that appointment

[@ValentinSOLANO-s3v]

89 to 900 years 14. Dollars

[@ivanali1732]

Will it let me apply online for my 3yr old child?

[@michaelhorgan9525]

You will have to apply in person using a DS 11. You can fill out the form online using the form filler but no this is for adult passports and not child passports. Watch Maneeshas video on how to apply for a passport for a minor.

[@RussianSpyBox]

can I pay with my personal check for passport renewal ?

[@michaelhorgan9525]

Only for mail in renewals.

[@bibimathew6381]

I applied online on January 28th. I can’t even log in online to check status and can’t seem to find a number where they pick up? I have a trip planned in 3 weeks. I paid extra for faster service too

[@michaelhorgan9525]

If you can wait 1 week, you can contact the Department of State for Urgent service or Life of death if it is of an immediate family member/spouse. Appointments fill up fast so it is best to call right at 14 days of travel on a week day at just before 8 AM EST. Though you can keep calling to see if you can get an appointment. You might have to travel and bring proof of travel such as plane tickets, itinerary and so on.

[@nachtvalYT]

this confusing i dont get it

[@michaelhorgan9525]

You cannot renew passports online at this time, but you can renew them by mail using form DS-82 with a stapled compliant photo, your old 10 year passport issued in the last 15 years (5 year or CHILD passports cannot be renewed by mail), and a check or money order made payable to the U.S. Department of State for $130. Add $60 if you want it expedited and if you also want 1-2 day shipping add 19.53 to that.

[@kingawfdallaz426]

Just do it for me

[@Fortunecookeee]

As of February 7th 2023 they are no longer accepting applications. They will reopen in March

[@michaelhorgan9525]

Yep that is true and they are planning to open it periodically until later this year when it will open for good.

Yes mail in renewals accept either check or money order though pay dot gov is also accepted for those living abroad.
