PASSPORT SERVICES AND FORMS
PASSPORT RENEWAL FOR APPLICANTS WHO ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR RENEWAL BY MAIL
Certain applicants must appear at the Embassy in person to renew a passport. The passport application must be signed in the presence of a Consular Officer. We are open to the public between 9 and 11AM, Monday through Friday. No appointment is necessary to renew a passport.
Please follow the instructions on this page if:
• You can present your last issued U.S. passport; and
• You had not turned 16 when your last U.S. passport was issued, OR if more than 15 years have passed since your most recent passport was issued.
Photographs
Two identical passport photographs are required. The Embassy will reject any photographs that do not meet the specified requirements.
Fee
The fee for in person renewal of an adult passport (age 16 or older), is $100.00 or SEK 640, and $85.00 or SEK 544, for children under the age of 16. Personal checks and postal money orders ("postanvisning") are NOT accepted. You may pay in cash (USD or SEK) or by credit card.
Passport application
Please use Form DS 11. This form is downloaded from the Department of State’s website. Please disregard the instructions printed on pages 1-2 since that information pertains to passport renewal when residing in the U.S. There are very important additional requirements when renewing passports for children under age 16 which requires both parents/legal guardians to consent to the issuance of the passport.
You must also submit a Self-addressed envelope with postage covering registered mail (61 SEK) so that we may send the new and old cancelled passport to you without delay. If no envelope is submitted, the Embassy will be unable to process the application. Address the envelope to a parent if the applicant is a minor.
The DS 11 form must be printed on individual pages; double-sided applications are not accepted. Download form DS 11 here.
Additional Requirements and Information
• You must bring a self-addressed return envelope with postage covering registered mail (61 SEK) so that we may send the new and old cancelled passport to you without delay. Address it to a parent if applicant is a minor. If no envelope is submitted, the Embassy will be unable to process the application.
• For applicants under age 16: Parents/legal guardians must present IDs (passport, driver’s license, ID card, etc.), and submit photocopies of the IDs. For more additional requirements, please click here.

• No appointment is necessary.
• Processing time is 3 weeks.
PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF ALL MINORS
To enhance the accurate identification of passport applicants and aid in the prevention of international child abduction and trafficking, the Department of State requires the personal appearance of all minors applying for U.S. passports. This applies even if the child has previously been issued a passport, regardless of place of issuance. The personal appearance requirement for all minors is a further step towards ensuring the integrity of the passport application process. In addition, passsports renewal by mail is now restricted to applicants who hold a full validity passport which was issued when the applicant was 16 or older. Applicants who had not turned 16 at the time when the passport was issued cannot renew passports by mail, but must apply in person at the Embassy.
