The U.S. State Department has announced that many American citizens will be able to renew passports online.
The service will be available 24/7 for adult applicants with a United States address, who are renewing a 10-year passport that has expired within the past five years, or renewing passports that will expire in the coming year.
Currently, the portal does not support renewals for children, first-time applicants, or applicants living outside the United States. The service is available through travel.state.gov.
