IF YOU NEED TO RENEW YOUR PASSPORT
You may be eligible to renew your passport by mail using Form DS-82. Form DS-82 is available at the Clerk's Office or at travel.state.gov/passport. This form may be mailed by the applicant and does not require execution by a passport acceptance facility. Effective December 27, 2021, passport fees for a passport book will increase from $110.00 to $130.00 for an adult, and from $80.00 to $100 for a child. Fees for passport cards will remain the same at $30 for an adult and $15.00 for a child. It must be in the form of a check or money order, payable to U.S. Department of State.

There are five (5) criteria for using Form DS-82. Please use the following checklist to see if you are eligible to apply with a DS-82:

• I was at least 16 years old when my most recent passport was issued AND
• I was issued my most recent passport in the last 15 years AND
• I use the same name as on my most recent passport; or since my passport was issued, I have had my name changed by marriage or court order and can submit proper documentation to reflect my name change AND
• I can submit my most recent passport AND
• It is undamaged.

If you answered NO to any of the 5 statements above, you cannot use Form DS-82. You must apply on a DS-11 and have it executed by a passport acceptance facility. More information about applying for a passport is available at travel.state.gov/passport.
