How long is a passport valid and when should I renew my passport?
If you were 16 or Older when the passport was issued, then your passport is valid for 10 Years.
If you were 15 or Younger when the passport was issued, then your passport is valid for 5 Years.
The Issue Date of your passport can be found on the data page of your Passport Book or the front of your Passport Card.
If possible, you should renew your passport approximately nine (9) months before it expires. Some countries require that your passport be valid at least six (6) months beyond the date of your trip. Some airlines will not allow you to board if this requirement is not met.
If your passport has already expired, you may still be able to renew your passport by mail. See How to Renew My Passport.
