The Department is amending 22 C.F.R. 51.21 by consolidating requirements for persons applying by mail and online in the United States and overseas. This change includes expanding online passport application availability to qualified applicants located in foreign countries. In addition, the Department is removing the requirement that an applicant’s most recently issued passport must have a year or less of remaining validity to qualify to submit an online passport application. Finally, the Department is making technical corrections to 51.8(b) to change on-line to read online for consistency.
