U.S. State Department Launches 24/7 Online Passport Renewal for Eligible Citizens
Sep 18, 2024, 04:45 PM
The U.S. State Department has fully launched its Online Passport Renewal (OPR) system, allowing eligible U.S. citizens to renew their passports online. This new system, available 24/7, aims to modernize government services by providing a more efficient and convenient alternative to the traditional mail-in paper application process. The online renewal option is expected to ease wait times and eliminate delays often caused by the cumbersome paper-based method. While the processing times remain the same as pre-pandemic levels, typically 6-8 weeks, the system offers a significant improvement in accessibility and ease of use for American travelers. The system is available for passports expired within the past five years.
