Passport services refer to the various services related to obtaining, renewing, and replacing a passport. These services may include:
Applying for a new passport
It entails providing the relevant paperwork, such as identification and citizenship verification, and paying the applicable fees.
Renewing a passport
This process is for people whose passports have expired or will soon expire. The same paperwork and fees must be submitted when applying for a new passport.
Replacing a lost or stolen passport
To complete this process, you must present your identity and proof of citizenship. If your passport is missing, you also need to notify the police. In comparison to renewal, the cost of this service is typically higher.
Expediting a passport
Through this service, passport applications and renewals can be processed more quickly. There can be an extra cost.
Passport name change
People who have legally changed their names and need to update their passports can use this service. Legal proof of the name change must be provided as the usual passport application fee.
Passport photo service
To make things simpler for the applicant, some companies that offer passport services also take passport photos.
