before it expires. Some countries require that your passport be valid at least
six (6) months beyond the dates of your trip. Some airlines will not allow you
to board if this requirement is not met. If you passport has already expired,
you may still be able to renew your passport by mail.
See How to Renew Your U.S. Passport.

certified documentation of your name change, two recent passport photos, and pay
all applicable fees.

Security Number (SSN), if you have one, when you apply for a U.S. passport or
renewal of a U.S. passport. If you have not been issued a SSN, enter zeros in
box #5 of the passport application form you are completing. Contact the Social
Security Administration to request a Number. If you are residing abroad, you

An Electronic Passport is the same as a traditional passport with the
addition of a small integrated circuit (or chip) embedded in the back cover. The
chip stores: The same data visually displayed on the data page of the passport;
A biometric identifier in the form of a digital image of the passport
photograph, which will facilitate the use of face recognition technology at
ports-of-entry; The unique chip identification number; and a digital signature
to protect the stored data from alteration. For more information see the U.S.
Electronic Passport.
Form instructions can be found on each form or the following Form pages:
Contact the National Passport Information Center. A Customer Service
Representative will confirm the date your passport mailed to you, the address to
which it was mailed and, if necessary, help you to report the non-receipt of
your passport. You have 90 days from the date your passport was issued to report
that you have not yet received it in the mail. If you do not report the
non-receipt of your passport within 90 days of the issue date, you will be
required to reapply and submit the full passport fee.
The Special
Issuance Agency, located in Washington, D.C., issues no-fee passports to
citizens traveling abroad for the U.S. Government, their dependents (if
permitted to accompany them), and certain others who are exempt by law from
payment of the passport fee.
For information see
Diplomatic, Official, and Regular No-Fee Passports.
Some countries require your passport have two (2) to four (4) blank
visa/stamp pages. Some airlines will not allow you to board if this requirement
in not met. See
Add Extra Pages for how to request more visa pages.
Passport Services recommends that the following U.S. citizens maintain valid
U.S. passports. Those: with family living or traveling abroad thinking about a
vacation abroad, or with a job that could require international travel. In the
event of an emergency involving a family member abroad, a short-notice airfare
bargain, or an unexpected business trip, already having a valid U.S. passport
will save time, money and stress.
Processing times can vary depending on workload and occasional unforeseen
circumstances such as natural disasters. During busier times, such as the summer
travel season, we encourage customers to expedite their applications if
traveling in less than 10 weeks. See
Application Processing Times for more information.
