Passport fee calculator

Answer a few questions and we'll calculate your passport fees.

 

Where do you currently reside?

Check with your local U.S. embassy or consulate for information on how to apply for a passport.

Have you ever had a U.S. passport?

Do you still have the passport in your possession?

Note: If you want to renew both a valid passport book and passport card, you must submit both documents. For example, if you can submit a passport book, but you lost your passport card, you cannot renew the passport card. If you want to renew either a valid book or a card, you must submit the specific document you want to renew.

Is the passport damaged or mutilated?

Do you know the issuance date of your passport?

Do you know if your passport is still valid?

Have you reported it lost or stolen to Passport Services?
A limited validity passport describes any passport issued with less than full 10-year validity for those 16 years and older and less than 5-year validity for those under age 16.

Are you replacing a "Limited Validity" Passport?

Was your passport issued domestically or overseas?

What was the validity of your limited passport?

Was your passport limited because you applied for a replacement naturalization or citizenship certificate and you could not get it before urgent travel?

Do you require any changes or corrections to what is currently printed on your passport?

Select all that apply:

Do you have an original or certified copy of your marriage certificate or the government-issued document demonstrating your legal name change under federal or state law?
