emilygrace Posted February 16, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Has anyone renewed two passports at the same time, like for a married couple? I am just wondering if each passport has to be sent in separately with the appropriate form filled out and the payment, or can you put two in one envelope? I know to send it certified and this is why I was hoping to send them together. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyOfSea Posted February 16, 2012 #2 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We sent ours in together about 3 years ago. It worked fine. They were mailed back separately though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quasar1011 Posted February 16, 2012 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We sent ours in together about 3 years ago. It worked fine. They were mailed back separately though. It happened to me that way as well. Sent them in together; but my wife's passport expires 4 days before mine! :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequim88 Posted February 16, 2012 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We sent ours in together about 3 years ago. It worked fine. They were mailed back separately though. Darned. I already bought two padded envelopes. Well, going on the theory of A) don't confuse the bureaucrats and... B) don't tempt fate by risking losing both (even certified mail) I think I will still send separately. The extra cost will be a bit of insurance.

emeraldcity Posted February 16, 2012 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I filled out the paperwork for both at the same time (at the post office). They took our pictures there too. But they insisted that they had to go in separate mailings (note: I didn't bother with certified ... just sent it first class). Mine was a renewal, my daughter's was considered a new application because it was her first adult one. Of course, if it's a new application, why did she need to send in both a certified birth certificate AND her previous passport? Makes no sense.

struther1 Posted February 16, 2012 #6 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We sent ours in together about 3 years ago. It worked fine. They were mailed back separately though. This was our experience as well. They came back separately and had different expiartion dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilygrace Posted February 16, 2012 Author #7 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Thanks for all the quick replies. I will probably send them in together. Just need to find a day when DH and I both look decent enough for the photos!!! This may take a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet524 Posted February 16, 2012 #8 Share Posted February 16, 2012 If you go online at the State Department passport site, you can download a renewal application form. You can also go online and check the status of your renewal. I sent my application in about 14 days ago, checked the status and found that it was "in process." I provided my e-mail address and two days later got an e-mail saying that the passport had been mailed that day and when I could exect to receive it. It was one of the most efficient activities I've ever encountered with the Federal government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Familygoboston Posted February 16, 2012 #9 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Sent my daughters in together; but they arrived back seperately, one day apart in the expiration dates! Hate the every 5 years renewal with the kids:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix1181 Posted February 16, 2012 #10 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We were instructed to send them separately & followed those instructions. They came back two days apart but have the same expiration date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiseguy1016 Posted February 16, 2012 #11 Share Posted February 16, 2012 We sent 4 in together, mine, DW, DD, DS. I can't remember if they came back on the same day but they all have the same expiration date. It's an easy one to remember too, December 25th.
