How to Renew Your U.S. Passport with Texas Tower

Renewing your U.S. passport doesn’t have to be complicated. Here’s a step-by-step guide to make the process easy:

Step 1: Make Sure You’re Eligible

You can renew your passport if:

• Your most recent passport is undamaged.

• You were 16 years old or older when it was issued.

• It was issued within the last 15 years.
  If not, you’ll need to apply for a new passport instead.

Step 2: Gather All Required Documents

You’ll need to submit the following:

• Completed and signed application for passport renewal
  → Complete this online through the Department of State’s passport portal.

• Two passport-type photos
  → Recommended to have these taken professionally at places like CVS or Walgreens.

• Authorization for Texas Tower to act on your behalf
  → Download and complete the Authorization Letters.

• Your current passport
  → (Note: your passport number will change, but your cancelled passport will be returned to you.)

• Flight itinerary or company letter requesting rush service
  → (If you need expedited processing.)

• Texas Tower Passport & Visa Order Form
  → Complete the Texas Tower Order Form.

Step 3: Important Details

• All documents must be physically signed and mailed.
  → No scanned or emailed copies are accepted — the Department of State requires original signatures.
