    Just renewed by passport today! Adding some additional insight: I picked up a renewal form at the post office, got my photos taken at Walgreens which were about $15, and shipped through USPS. I did a money order directly at the post office for an additional fee of $1.45 (they only accepted debit or cash) and then they mailed it Priority Mail 2-day w/ tracking for $8.95. I told them standard shipping. My total fee's at the post office (USPS) were $140.40.

    Hi Kayla, Thank you for your helpful video. I purchased a killer deal to Greece under my maiden name which matches my passport. However, I noticed that my passport is set to expire before my flight. To add complication, I now have a new legal name through marriage. Am I required to renew my passport under my new legal name or can I keep it as is to match the name on the airline tickets? Your expertise will be greatly appreciated.

    • @TheWanderfulLifeofKayla
      @TheWanderfulLifeofKayla  Pƙed rokem +1

The processing center at Texas rejected and sent back to me, because like you said that the 2X2 photo must be stapled at the four corners. I only stapled just one corner, therefore they did not accept it and i wrote them the wrong amount. What is the true cost of renewal for the month of July 2022? Many thanks and God bless

    Just one question. How do you renew if you lost or misplaced your passport? If anyone can answer this it would mean the world to me. Thanks.

    • @michaelhorgan9525
      @michaelhorgan9525 Pƙed rokem

      You would have to go in person and fill out a DS-11 (use the form filler and fill it out before hand). If the passport has already been expired you would not need to fill out a DS-64. If it is still valid then you would need to fill out a DS-64 and include it with your application.

      You will need a new passport photo as the DS-11 requires that. He will need to renew in person and no consent is needed as he is now an adult and can do this on his own. If you are using your checkbook for him make sure you write down his name and date of birth. Oh and his previous passport can be used in place of the birth certificate.

      Passport cards are a form of id that can be used on land or sea crossings from Canada, Bermuda, Mexico and the Caribbean. You cannot use it for international air travel but you can use it on domestic flights as a real id compliant card (passport books are always real id compliant). You can either get one with your application or apply for one on a DS 82 form if you already have a passport book.
