Good to know: Independent ToolsKo helper; not a U.S. government service. References reviewed November 11, 2026. A standard full-validity passport checklist for applicants mailing from within the United States. Not online-renewal eligibility or an application, approval, delivery-time estimate or complete legal-eligibility review. Limited-validity passports, overseas applications, urgent travel and unusual circumstances need official guidance. The worksheet conservatively refers the exact 15-year anniversary to the Department of State. Dates are evaluated as entered, not automatically updated to today. Do not upload a passport or enter its number.

How to use it (step by step)

  1. 1Choose the planned application date and your most recent passport’s issue date. Do not enter identity numbers.
  2. 2Answer each standard criterion honestly. Unknown answers prevent a positive checklist result.
  3. 3Open the official renewal instructions and DS-82 form. Confirm fees, mailing address and processing time there before submitting.
