westbounder Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Has anyone recently (since covid 19) applied for renewing their US passport by mail. I was wondering if it is now ok to do again since the virus because it was on hold for awhile. Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Mailed in application have been accepted for some time now. See: https://th.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/passports/adult-passport-renew/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pawpal Posted September 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 30, 2020 I applied in early September. Since I live in Bangkok, sent my old passport & application to the US Embassy in Bangkok (following the instructions linked to by ubonjoe above), and received my new passport in just 12 days. Quite impressed with the speed and efficiency of the process. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehs818 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I did mine in early August. Follow the instructions on their webpage. Be sure to use the CHECKLIST they supply to make sure you send in everything needed. I got mine back in 3 weeks. Easy as pie! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlclark97 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Mailed my application in on 11 September. Already back and updated 29 September by immigration. Super easy, far better than the old trip into ACS by appointment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am scared to death of having my passport lost in the mail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keilecpod Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 You need to gather your documents and apply for your passport several months before your trip. First-time applicants, minors, and applicants who need a new passport but may not renew by mail may submit their passport application at the Post Office. The U.S. State Department website explains what you'll need to bring with you. But I think it is better to go to the passport office and bring the documents by yourself. I think it is safer and you will be sure that your documents arrived and you know exactly how much time you need to wait until you get your passport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randell Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 EMS is you're friend in this. A registered service. I just did mine (Canadian ) but EMS quick and efficient. I would worry in the least. Randell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
