San Bernardino International Airport has announced that U.S. citizens can now renew their passports online through the U.S. Department of State's website, providing a faster and more convenient option. This announcement was shared in a March 27 post on X.

According to the U.S. Department of State, the new online passport renewal system allows eligible U.S. citizens to renew their passports without mailing physical documents. Applicants can complete the process by creating an account on the MyTravelGov website, filling out the application, and uploading a digital photo. This initiative is designed to streamline the renewal process and reduce processing times.

As reported by Time magazine, the online renewal service is available 24/7 and is designed to save time and effort for users. To be eligible, applicants must have a passport valid for ten years, be at least 25 years old, and reside in the United States. Additionally, they must not need to travel within eight weeks of applying.
