    What you'll need

    What you'll need for passport renewal.

    Complete your DS-82 passport renewal application through the U.S. Department of State website, then print and sign it. Your APVI specialist reviews the completed form before you ship anything. DS-82 renewal is only for eligible passports: issued within the last 15 years, issued when you were age 16 or older, undamaged, and in your current name (or with legal proof of your name change, such as a marriage certificate or court order).
    You must provide your undamaged 10-year passport book and/or card as part of your renewal application. A damaged passport cannot be renewed by mail and follows a different process. These originals are sent in with your packet after your documents are reviewed.
    Your passport photo must be taken within the last 6 months. Photos older than 6 months will not be accepted. Your specialist checks your photo against the current specifications before submission.
    Provide a copy of your plane ticket, airline confirmation email, or travel itinerary showing your upcoming trip.
    Adult applicants (16 years and older) pay U.S. Department of State fees separately: $213.36 for a passport book, or $243.36 for a passport book and card. These are paid by check or money order included with your packet.
    Download and complete your APVI Letter of Authorization. The LOA allows APVI to submit your documents and receive them back on your behalf.
    Once you have completed and uploaded all of your application documents, sign your checklist and upload it as the final item.

    DIY vs. APVI

    DIY renewal can work, until a small mistake delays your passport.

    A small mistake can delay your trip. Here is how doing it yourself compares with having an APVI passport specialist review your renewal.

    Without APVI

    The DIY path

    • Renewal eligibility: You decide on your own whether you qualify to renew by mail.
    • Passport photo review: You have to judge your own photo against the specifications.
    • Form and signature review: You must catch form, signature, and payment mistakes yourself.
    • Name-change documents: You research which supporting document is acceptable.
    • Shipping instructions: You choose your own carrier and hope it arrives intact.
    • Processing speed: Standard government mail-in processing can take weeks.
    • Status support: Limited visibility once your packet is in the mail.
    • Human specialist support: No one to call when a question comes up.
    • Return delivery: You wait for standard return mail.
