Renewing Your Passport
Before you proceed with our passport renewal service, please make sure you can answer “yes” to all of the questions below. If you’re unsure, we suggest taking our passport quiz to see what option is right for you.
- Is your passport still valid or did your passport expire less than 5 years ago?
- Is your passport in good condition and is in your possession?
- Was your passport issued in the U.S.A?
- Were you 16 years of age or older when your last U.S.A passport was issued? Was it valid for 10 years?
Whether you need your passport renewed in a matter of days, or can wait a few weeks, we have you covered. Below, you will find our passport renewal service offerings which vary according to how quickly you need your application processed. We always advise that you plan ahead and think about which timeline will ensure your passport arrives before you are set to travel. If you’re not sure, start your order and we can guide you to the right choice for your individual situation. We promise to make the entire process easy and expedient for you!

Renewing Your Passport: What You Should Know
I saw there is an online renewal option now, can I just do that?
That was a pilot program and is no longer open.
Can I renew my passport that is over 5 years old?
Your passport must be valid for 5 years for us to renew it. If it is older than that, you will need to apply for a new passport.
Can I travel with a damaged passport?
The short answer is no. If you try to travel with a passport that is damaged, you will be turned away by customs. Therefore, we suggest replacing your passport well before you plan to travel.
Will I Need to Send In My Current Passport?
Yes, you will ship your current passport to Swift and, after your order is completed, we will ship it back to you.
Can I just send in the application form I got from post office and filled out by hand?
No, we cannot process your passport order if you do this.Â
I don’t have travel plans anytime soon, I just want to renew my passport. Can I do that?
You can renew your passport using standard processing, even if you don’t have upcoming travel. However, if you need an expedited passport, we will need a travel itinerary to process your order.

There are numerous reasons why you might want to work with Swift when it comes time to renew your passport. Perhaps the biggest is that when our customers work with us instead of going it alone, they save up to 20 hours of time! That’s because our team guides you step-by-step through the process, reviews all of your paperwork to avoid errors that may cause delays, and closely monitors your passport as it progresses. These measures guarantee that your passport will arrive on time.

US Passport Renewal FAQ
What’s the fastest a passport can be renewed?
At this time, it is taking 7-10 weeks for passports to be renewed. You have a few options if you need your passport faster than this. The first is to use Swift’s expedited passport renewal service, and you will get your passport in 3-5 business days with expert help along the way. We also have a routine service that takes 4-6 weeks for those who are not in a major hurry. The other option you have is to expedite your passport through the US Passport Agency for an additional fee of $60.00, and you will get your passport in 4-6 weeks.
How long does it take to get a US passport renewed?
Timelines vary depending on whether you expedited your passport or not. In general, it is taking the US
Passport Agency 8-10 weeks to process passports, not including mail time. So, be mindful of this when
you book your trip.
How much is the expedited passport fee?
The US Passport Agency currently charged $60.00 for expedited passports. The fees for Swift’s service
vary.
Do I need to make an appointment for your passport renewal service?
Yes, you will need to make an appointment with Swift to utilize this service. We have limited daily slots
and your slot must be reserved in advance which is why we require an appointment at this time.
Why should I use an expedited passport renewal service like Swift’s?
We’ve found that most people will spend about 20 hours on the renewal process. This is not an
exaggeration. The process involves gathering paperwork, filling out forms, and time spent at your
appointment with a Passport Acceptance Agent. All of these steps add up to hours of time.
Additionally, if you make mistakes or fail to submit required paperwork, there is even more time and
headaches involved. The Swift team helps you avoid errors and costly mistakes. We hold your hand
every step of the way and do everything we can to ensure that your passport arrives on time. Most of
our customers come back to us because they know we will save them from a great deal of stress and
frustration.
Can I track my passport status online?
Yes, the US Department of State has an online tracker for passport applications which may be accessed
here. Please note, it may take up to 2 weeks from the date you applied till the tracker shows that your
application is in progress.
