U.S. passports are good for 10 years, but travelers need to start thinking about renewing them after nine years. That�s because many countries require passports to be good for at least six months after the traveler exits the country. Depending on how busy the U.S. Passport Agency is, it may take two to three months for the office to process your renewal application. Travelers renewing passports can submit applications by mail.

With the heightened fears of terrorism these days, it has never been more important to have your papers in order than it is today. An improper or out of date passport could find you in a bit of trouble when trying to travel internationally, so you should take every step possible to make sure that your passport is valid. A big part of this is passport renewal. Many people forget to get a passport renewal because it takes so many years for the passport to become invalid and they don't use it enough to really think about it. If you need to have your passport renewed, you can either mail the passport office itself, or you can find any of the paperwork you need for a renewal at your post office.
