Routine Service (Form DS-82: Application for a U.S. Passport by Mail)
Non-Refundable
Eligible Adult Applicants Only (See below)

   Total
Passport Book (renewal) $75
Passport Card (renewal) $20

Pay this fee to the "U.S. Department of State" as instructed on Form DS-82. 

You may use Form DS-82 if your previous U.S. passport:

  1. Was issued when you were age 16 or older and
  2. Was issued in the last 15 years and
  3. Is undamaged and can be submitted with your application and
  4. Was issued in your current name or you can document your legal name change


Expedited Service

Add $60 for each application

Currently, the U.S. passport card is not eligible for Expedited Service.  

Note: An application for a passport book and a passport card may be expedited, but the $60 fee will only serve to expedite the book at this time.  The pending production of your passport card, will not serve to delay the issuance and delivery of your passport book or the return of your citizenship evidence.


Overnight Delivery

For any service (first-time application, renewal, additional pages, name change) to receive your passport as soon as possible, we strongly suggest that you arrange overnight delivery service for:

    1. Sending your passport application (See your overnight delivery service provider for fees)

                            AND

    2. Returning your passport to you (Add $14.85 for each application)

    NOTE: Your overnight delivery service provider must be capable of delivery to a P.O. Box.
