Are you a U.S. citizen looking to renew your passport? Starting this Friday, October 1, eligible citizens residing in Mexico will be able to use a new online payment program for adult passport renewals.

This was informed by the U.S. Embassy in Mexico through a publication on its official Facebook account. They also communicated that if you need a passport you must schedule an appointment, complete the DS-82 form and have your Social Security number on hand.

"You must complete all pages of the form, sign and date it... You must print your form single-sided. We do not accept double-sided forms" they stated on their website.

You must also send your most recent U.S. passport and a photocopy of the biography page. This should go with your application along with a photocopy of the bio page containing your photo. They clarify that your old passport book will be returned to you.

As a final step you will need to pay the passport renewal fee online and include a printed copy of the payment confirmation receipt with your documents. If you want to review the rest of the requirements or start your process you can click here.
