The process to renew the U.S. passport is an open procedure for everyone with strict requirements, and those who do not comply with the conditions established by the State Department will have to apply for a new passport in person.
In order for a person to access the renewal process, one of the conditions that must be met is that the passport be in good physical condition, with no deterioration beyond normal wear and tear.
