The US State Department now allows online passport renewal for eligible citizens. Key requirements include having a passport issued within the last 15 years, being over 25 years old at the time of application, and not reporting the previous passport lost or stolen. Applicants must also be able to submit a digital photograph and pay renewal fees online. The online system aims to streamline the renewal process and reduce processing times. Further details and eligibility criteria are available on the State Department’s website. This new option provides a convenient alternative to traditional mail-in renewals.
