| Agent Smith  | Re: Renewing passport Check to see if your airline supports expedited renewals first. But here's some info: http://travel.state.gov/passport/get...renew_833.html

| Re: Renewing passport Mine will expire this year what can you do while your passport is getting re-new about jump-sitting to work/home? As I understand it you have to send your old one and eventually they will send it back. |

  | Re: Renewing passport When Bill's was up for renewal last year he sent it in while he was on vacation. Off for several days, and sent it in with an expedited request. It was back in his hands within 5 working days.

| Re: Renewing passport I sent mine off last April or May, just doing the standard renewal. I'm not working and I didn't need it for a trip or anything, I just wanted it renewed. I think it took about 3 months.

| Re: Renewing passport thanks guys! But I do not work for an airline....I am a CFI out here in the San Joaquin(Cali), for now! (ya know, the school that that longest thread ever is about). Some people told me post office. Others said online. Do I have to get a photo taken? |

| Re: Renewing passport All the answers to your questions are in that State Department link Doug provided. The normal, non-expedited fee is $67, and you have to provide two identical, recent (within 6 months) photographs. I had to renew my passport last year, and went to my local FedEX/Kinkos to get my pic taken, but I've seen Walgreens and CVSs offering passport photos as well.
