At long last: Online Passport Renewal!

Are you planning to travel abroad next year? Let this email be the reminder to double-check that your passport will be valid.  (Remember, most countries require between three and six months of validity past the date of your return.)
 
If you need to renew your passport, there's some good news from the State Department: online application renewal is now available! That's right, you no longer need to write a check and take it to an in-person appointment. We're quite excited about this convenient new option. 
​
If you qualify for online renewal, you'll create a MyTravelGov account, then choose “renew passport.” Enter information from your previous passport, enter your upcoming travel plans, upload a passport photo, pay the fee, and you are all set! You can get started and learn more at this State Department website: Online Passport Renewal
