How do I renew my US passport knowing that it is the first time, and?
I need more information - did you previously have a valid U.S. passport? Do you currently have a valid U.S. passport? If not, was it lost, stolen, or mutilated? If you have never had a valid U.S. passport, youll need to apply as if its the first time youre applying, using form DS-11, and submitting your application in person at an application acceptance facility. If your current passport was lost, stolen, or mutilated, you will need to apply as if its the first time, using the form I mentioned above. If you have a valid passport, but just dont have it with you, do whatever you can to get that passport in your possession. If it was issued after you were 16 years old, you can renew by mail using form DS-82. Otherwise, youll need form DS-11.
