valid United States passport is required for most international travel by an American citizen. Your passport can be renewed at any time, though the Department of State website suggests renewing it within nine months of the passport expiration date, found on the passport's data page. Passports for Americans ages 16 and older are valid for 10 years, while those for younger children can be used for five years. Specific renewal requirements vary depending on a variety of factors, including when your passport was issued and your age when you applied for your current passport.

You can mail in the passport and renewal application to the U.S. Department of State if it is undamaged. Otherwise you may have to make an application in person.
