The State Department announced on Oct. 23 that Americans can now renew their passports online, bypassing a mail-in method that could take many weeks.

“By offering this online alternative to the traditional paper application process, the Department is embracing digital transformation to offer the most efficient and convenient passport renewal experience possible,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement announcing the change.
