U.S. Passport Renewal Eligibility Checker
Online, mail, and in-person renewal have different gates, and the wrong track wastes weeks. Answer each gate. This tool names the track that fits.
Check the gates
Answer each question for the most recent passport. All answers default to No.
Answer the gates to see the track that fits.
How to use the result
- Online needs every gate. All eleven answers must be yes for online renewal. One no drops the track to mail or in person.
- Mail needs the first six gates. The submit, recency, age, validity, name, and condition gates decide mail eligibility. Fail one and the track is in person.
- In person means DS-11. The renewal guide gives the mail addresses, the fees, and the in-person evidence rules for the track the checker names.
