Renewals, explained simply.

Hi Julian — I see your US Passport expires in 22 days and you have a trip to Lisbon in October. I recommend starting the renewal this week. Want me to walk you through it?

For an adult US passport renewal by mail (Form DS-82) you'll need: • Your most recent passport • One new 2x2 color photo (taken within 6 months) • Renewal fee: $130 (+$60 for expedited) • Form DS-82 completed and signed Current routine processing: 6–8 weeks. Expedited: 2–3 weeks. Given your travel date, expedited is safe. Should I generate a step-by-step checklist?
