Renewing a passport?

My passport expired in july 2008.
I need to renew it so do I need to take a new picture. What are the directions to renew it.

Of COURSE you need a new photo. Get the renewal paperwork at any Post Office and READ THE RULES... it clearly states what you need to send in when you renew the passport. One of the logical reasons for renewing a passport every 10 years is to get a new photo of you so they know what you look like now... 10 years later.

Besides that... it makes it easier to identify you when the plane crashes and they find your passport and your head... THAT IS A SERIOUS ANSWER. If you are in a plane that is preparing for a crash landing, they will have you TAPE YOUR PASSPORT TO YOUR CHEST... so they can identify the body.

For a US passport the photo should be 2" X 2" with the measurement from the chin to the top of the head being 1" - 1 3/8". It should be a color photo against a white or off-white background. There should be no head covering, or dark glasses.

If you were born in Canada, you must provide an original of either:

a Canadian birth certificate (issued in Canada by the province or territory of your birth), or
a Certificate of Canadian Citizenship.
If you were born outside of Canada, you must provide one of the four Canadian citizenship documents below:

Certificate of Canadian citizenship
Certificate of Naturalization in Canada
Certificate of Retention of Canadian citizenship
Certificate of Registration of Birth Abroad
To avoid any delays, indicate in section 4 of the application form if you acquired citizenship of another country before February 15, 1977.

If you were born outside Canada after Feb 14, 1977, you may need to take steps to keep your Canadian citizenship. Learn more by visiting the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website.

Birth certificates
Birth certificates are available from the Registrar of Vital Statistics in the province or territory of your birth. For more information on how to obtain a birth certificate, contact your Canadian Vital Statistics Office.

Since November 26, 2001, only the following identity documents are accepted as proof of Canadian citizenship for Canadians born in the Province of Quebec.
a birth certificate issued after January 1, 1994, by le Directeur de l'état civil in the Province of Quebec
a Certificate of Canadian Citizenship
Birth certificate for children under 16 years of age
To avoid possible delays, we strongly recommend that you provide a long-form birth certificate showing information on both parents.

Certificate of Canadian citizenship
A Certificate of Canadian citizenship may be obtained at the following address:


Registrar of Canadian Citizenship
Citizenship and Immigration Canada
P.O. Box 10000
Sydney, NS, B1P 7C1

Web site: www.cic.gc.ca

Toll free: 1 888 242-2100
TTY* toll free: 1 888 576-8502 (from 7:00 to 17:00)
*For persons who are deaf or hard of hearing

Dual citizenship
Canadian law permits Canadians to have more than one nationality. However, your Canadian citizenship may not be recognized in the country of your other citizenship, and the authorities of that country may prevent Canada from providing you with consular assistance. This is especially true if you did not use your Canadian passport when entering that country.

I assume you are speaking of the USA. If not, you need to specify which country.

Should You Apply for a Passport Renewal by Mail using Form DS-82?
YES, If You…

1. Already have a passport that is not damaged; and
2. Received it within the past 15 years; and
3. Were at least age 16 when it was issued; and
4. Still have the same name as in passport (or you can legally document your name change).

Sorry, the new photo question was not in the first couple of paragraphs.
