Passport question...

[Mishetta]

Where do you go to get a passport form? Would a post office have them? I got mine years ago & don't remember where I went to get the form. Also, my passport expired about 5 ~ 6 years ago....would that still be considered a 'renewal'?

Thanks!

In my city, you go to the main post office.

I got mine from the post office that delt with Passports, not all do. So I'm not sure if all of the Post Offices will have them or not...just call your local Post Office.

Thanks but I tried this site & no matter what topic I click on, I get a blank page.

Now that I'm thinking back, I bet I did get my form from the Post office. I'll have to call my PO & see if they carry them.

Again, would an expired passport still be considered as a renewal after 5 or 6 years?

I believe that if you've already held a passport then it is considered a renewal and therefor the full charge of a new passport won't apply.

The passport forms are in Adobe format. If you don't have Adobe on your computer, you will need to install it. It is widely available for free on the internet.

try http://www.travel.state.gov/ and follow the links for get or renew a passport. It took me less than a minute to find your answer (and I have slow dial-up).

Should You Apply for a Passport Renewal by Mail?

YES, If You…
Already have a passport that is not damaged; and
Received it within the past 15 years; and
Were at least age 16 when it was issued; and
Still have the same name as in passport (or you can legally document your name change).

It's important to call first. Our PO only processes applications on certain days of the week and only during certain hours the PO is open.

Thank you all!

My goodness, I looked so young & pretty in my last passport picture! Hard to believe that was me!
