To expedite your Passport Renewal, we will help you get started in the right direction. Don't be overwhelmed. We are here to assist you each step of the way.

First, to qualify for Passport Renewal, your passport must have been issued within the past 15 years, the Applicant must have been 16 or older at the time of issue. You will need to complete one government form called the DS-82 as well as the LOA Form (which stands for Letter Of Authorization... it authorizes us to process your passport paperwork).

Your Package Checklist:

1. Complete the Universal Passport Order Form. Download it here. To determine our fees, click here for our payment calculator.

2. Complete, download, print and sign the DS-82 Form from the government website. Here is the link: http://travel.state.gov/passport/forms/ds82/ds82_843.html

3. Complete our LOA (Letter Of Authorization). NOTE: Leave the second blank empty -- it’s where you are authorizing us to handle the submission and pick-up of your passport documents (after they’ve been issued by the passport agency). Get LOA here. * IMPORTANT: Must print and complete 2 copies of the LOA.

4. We need your most recent Passport. If your name has changed since your passport was issued, please enclose a certified copy of the legal document specifying your name change, such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, adoption decree or a court order.

5. We need 2 passport photographs. Must be recent, identical and 2x2 inches.

6. We need a copy of your travel itinerary. A copy of either your airline ticket(s) or flight itinerary will serve as the required proof regarding your departure date.

7. We need your $135 check made payable to the U.S. Dept. of State. These are government fees. Your payment to Universal Passports & Visas was for the expediting of your passport processing, but the Federal Government still requires their standard fees for an Adult Passport Renewal. NOTE: Please indicate your Date of Birth in the memo field of your check.
