passport renewal

Updating travel credentials

Passport renewal is the process of obtaining a new passport before or after an existing one expires.

Most countries require renewal every five to ten years for adults.

The process typically involves submitting an application, photos, and the old passport: I need to start my passport renewal before our trip abroad.

Distinguished from a first-time passport application, renewal is usually simpler and faster.
