International travel just got a whole lot easier for United States citizens!
Passport
If you’ve ever had to deal with the headache of renewing your passport in person, you know just how daunting of a task it can be. You’d have to make an appointment, go get your photo taken, drive all the way to the passport office, and likely still have to wait for a bit. But, all that has now changed! The United States Department of State has been testing a new online passport renewal program — and it’s officially live!
Renewing your passport just got a whole lot easier! Back in 2022, the U.S. Department of State tested out a pilot program for renewing your passport online that was only open to a limited number of qualified participants. Then, we saw the program come back again earlier this year — and now, it’s here FOR GOOD!
U.S. passport renewal just got easier! We've fully launched our Online Passport Renewal (OPR) system. You can skip the printing and mailing. Renew from the comfort of your home (couch!) completely online, 24/7. It's secure, convenient, and ready for you to use. See if you qualify… pic.twitter.com/RulCs5hDFi

Not only is it here for good, but it’s no longer available to just a limited number of US citizens. As long as you meet the eligibility requirements listed on the passport renewal website, you should be able to renew your passport online — from your couch. You can check out the requirements below to see if your passport qualifies to be renewed using this new service.

From there, you’ll create an account and then follow the steps to fill out and submit your application. In fact, we have a handy dandy full guide to using the online passport renewal system right here! And, you can check out the video from the State Department below for the next steps on what you should do after you’ve submitted your online application. No matter where you might be headed, we hope this makes it a bit easier for you to get there!
