Anyone renew a U.S. passport recently? What's the cheapest and most direct way? Post office, website, or ...? I know the fee just went up.
We go to AAA to have our pictures taken and then to the post office to submit the request/pay the fees.Anyone renew a U.S. passport recently? What's the cheapest and most direct way? Post office, website, or ...? I know the fee just went up.

If current passport is less than 15 years old, cheapest and most direct is to download form DS-82, get your pics at walgreens, and submit by standard mail.Anyone renew a U.S. passport recently? What's the cheapest and most direct way? Post office, website, or ...? I know the fee just went up.
I took the photographs! DH just followed the website guidelines - printed them, cut them out. I think we just had to have a certain color backdrop (light?) and the blinds in our MH were fine.Anyone renew a U.S. passport recently? What's the cheapest and most direct way?

Then I took the jacket off for the other passport size photos
Hi Onward, my point was that if I submit a photo for a visa or visa extension one year after my passport was issued, and it is the same exact photo as is in my passport, they will know it is one year old (and thus possibly reject it). Whereas, if I took the other photos with different clothing, they will not know that.Thanks everyone. I knew I could count on y'all to educate me.
Clever, clever. So you use the photos that have you dressed appropriately for the current season?
I found a free program on line to automatically resize the passport pictures, so I took them myself and it generated the correct face dimensions and outside dimensions. Sorry I don't have a link.
Let me Google that for you: passport +resize - Google Search

I always get all my passport sized photographs taken while I am traveling in a developing country since it is so cheap (like 50 cents each).
