Simple & Smooth USA Passport Process
Who Can Apply for a U.S. Passport?
U.S. passport services are available to eligible U.S. citizens. Depending on the applicant’s circumstances, the appropriate process may include a first-time passport application, adult renewal, child passport application, replacement of a lost or damaged passport, or correction/change of passport information.
For applications outside the United States, U.S. citizens should follow the instructions provided by the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate.
U.S. Passport Fees
U.S. passport fees depend on the applicant’s age, application type, and whether the applicant is applying for a passport book, passport card, or both.
For example, current U.S. Department of State fees include:
Application Type | Government Fee |
| Adult First Passport Book | $130 + $35 acceptance fee |
| Adult First Passport Card | $30 + $35 acceptance fee |
| Adult Passport Book & Card | $160 + $35 acceptance fee |
| Adult Passport Book Renewal | $130 |
| Adult Passport Card Renewal | $30 |
| Adult Passport Book & Card Renewal | $160 |
Fees can change, and applicants applying through a U.S. embassy or consulate outside the United States may have different payment and submission instructions. Applicants should verify the applicable fee before submission.
U.S. Passport Processing Time
Passport processing time depends on the application type, location, submission method, and individual circumstances.
For routine applications processed in the United States, the current U.S. Department of State guidance lists 4–6 weeks for routine processing and 2–3 weeks for expedited processing, excluding mailing time. Applicants outside the United States should follow the processing guidance of the relevant U.S. embassy or consulate.

- Name-change documentation, where applicable
- Supporting documents for special circumstances
