Renewing in Person
Important - Please see our Plan Your Visit page for more information on scheduling a visit as our process has changed.
You may renew your U.S. passport in person at a passport acceptance facility such as our office.

You must complete the form DS-11 to renew in person. If you choose to do an in-person renewal with us, follow these steps for adults and these steps for minors.
