The U.S. State Department has fully launched its new Online Passport Renewal system, allowing eligible U.S. citizens to renew their passports online. This update eliminates the need for cumbersome mail-in paper applications, which often caused delays. The system is available 24/7 and aims to make passport renewal more efficient and convenient. The new service is an extension of a previous pilot program and is part of the State Department's efforts to modernize government services. Routine processing for online renewals is expected to take 6-8 weeks.
