Step-by-Step Guide to Passport Renewal at UPS

Step 1: Gather Required Documents

Before you head to your local UPS store, make sure you have everything you need to renew your passport. Here’s what you’ll need:

• An expired or expiring passport. If you don’t have a passport yet, you’ll need to apply for a new one instead of renewing it.
• A completed DS-82 form, which you can download from the U.S. Department of State’s website.
• One 2×2 inch passport photo. Most UPS stores provide photo services, but you can also have your photo taken at a variety of other locations, including drugstores and photography studios.
• Payment for the renewal fee. The fees for renewing your passport at UPS are the same as if you were renewing it directly through the U.S. Department of State.

Step 2: Visit a UPS Store

Once you have all the required documents and forms, head to the UPS store closest to you that offers passport renewal services. You can find a list of participating stores on the UPS website.

Step 3: Submit Your Documents

When you arrive at the UPS store, you’ll need to provide your documents and payment for the renewal fee. The associate will review your documents and make sure everything is in order. If there are any issues with your application, they’ll let you know and help you fix them.

Step 4: Choose Your Service Type

Next, you’ll need to choose the type of service you want. If you need your passport quickly, you can choose expedited service for an additional fee. If you don’t need your passport that quickly, you can choose regular service.

Step 5: Wait for Processing

Once you’ve completed all the steps, you simply need to wait for your passport to be processed. Processing times vary depending on the type of service you choose. Regular service generally takes 4-6 weeks, while expedited service takes 2-3 weeks. You can check the status of your passport on the U.S. Department of State’s website.

That’s it! Once your passport is processed, it will be mailed to you at the address you provided on your application.
