Check with the U.S. government to confirm if online renewal services are available for passports. Remember that you should not have to pay a fee to fi ll out the required forms for a passport renewal — you’ll only need to provide payment for the renewal itself. • Give yourself plenty of time when renewing your passport. Processing times for passport renewals can change often. In addition to the indicated processing times, you should also consider the time it takes for your passport to arrive at the passport agency and then be mailed back to your home address. Check state.gov to see current processing times and plan ahead. Giving yourself plenty of time might reduce your likelihood of searching for quicker options, some of which could be scams. You can expedite your passport renewal with the U.S. government for an extra fee, but it might take several weeks. • Confi rm the website’s URL before providing sensitive information. It can be easy to click on a sponsored ad or an impostor website without noticing. Remember, government websites end in.gov — but always take a closer look. Scammers can trick you into thinking URLs look legitimate when they aren’t. Before typing in sensitive information, check that the website and link are secure. Learn more about identifying fake websites. • Be wary of third-party websites. There are legitimate passport assistance services, but check with BBB.org and BBB Scam Tracker fi rst to ensure that you aren’t sharing your personal or financial information with a scammer.
