Passport Renewals for Adults (16 Years and Older)

• I have my Passport in my possession.
• I was 16 years of age or older when the Passport was issued (children's passports can not be renewed).
• The Passport was issued within the last 15 years.
• The Passport is in my current name (If you have changed your name due to marriage, divorce or court order and can submit original or certified documents showing the court-ordered name change, then you can apply in your new name).

If you do not meet these criteria, you must apply for a new Passport instead of renewing your existing Passport. If your Passport was issued for only one year or less, you must extend your Passport validity.

Note: Passport applicants between the ages of 16 and 17 must appear with one parent to co-sign the application. For applicants under 16, click here.
