Forget long lines and potentially monthslong wait times. Eligible U.S. travelers can once again renew their passports online.
The State Department on Wednesday began allowing a limited number of people to renew their passports online each day. Under the program, which is currently in beta testing, the department will issue a currently undisclosed number of spots at around 1 p.m. Eastern Time, seven days a week. The application site will be open until each day’s spots have been filled, and the State Department will gradually increase the number it accepts each day.
