• If your passport expired more than 5 years or you were a minor (under 16 years old) at the time the passport was issued, you will need to reapply for a passport with the DS-11 Form.

Six-Month Validity Rule:

The Six Month Validity Rule is imposed by foreign countries and not by the United States. It simply means that your passport should be valid for more than six months from your return travel date. Click here to search the passport validity requirements for the country you will be visiting.

YOU MUST RENEW BY MAIL IF YOUR MOST RECENT U.S. PASSPORT:

• Is Undamaged and can be submitted with your application, and
• Was issued when you were age 16 or older; and
• Was issued within the last 15 years; and
• Was issued in your current name or you can legally document your name change with an original or certified copy of your marriage certificate or the government-issued document evidencing your legal name change.
