Renew Your U.S. Passport (Expedited Services)
Fast Passport Renewal Made Simple
If your U.S. passport is expired—or about to expire—you may be eligible to renew it without starting from scratch.
At Texas Tower Passport and Visa, we help streamline the renewal process so you can avoid delays, confusion, and missed travel plans.
⏱ When Can You Renew Your Passport?
You can renew your passport if:
- Your passport was issued within the last 15 years
- You were age 16 or older when it was issued
- Your passport is not damaged
- You still have your passport in your possession
- Your name has not changed (or you have legal proof of the change)
👉 If you don’t meet these requirements, you may need to apply for a new passport instead.
