Resources for members who desire to "DIY"

If you have time and want to try to secure your passport or travel visa yourself, here are some good resources and a few tips to get you started. Please keep in mind that AAA Travel Advisors don't have forms and cannot provide assistance with your application, but they can help with the photos you will need to attach to your application. 

New passports

First-time applicants must apply in person at an authorized Passport Application Acceptance Facility or Passport Agency if:   

  • You are applying for your first U.S. passport or are under age 16
  • Your previous U.S. passport was issued when you were under age 16; was lost, stolen or damaged; or was issued more than 15 years ago
  • Your name has changed since your U.S. passport was issued and you are unable to legally document your name change.

Passport renewals

You can renew an expired or soon-to-be expired U.S. passport by mail if it meets the following criteria: 

  • It is undamaged and can be submitted with your renewal application
  • It was issued when you were 16 or older and within the last 15 years

 

Visit the U.S. Department of State website to download required forms, and to get more information on new passport applications and passport renewals.

Visa resources

Here's another U.S. Department of State website that can be used as a starting point should you desire to try and procure your own visa, or research visa requirements for US citizens traveling abroad. 

 

Since the travel visa landscape changes so often we recommend seeking out expert help from RushMyPassport, or a company like RushMyPassport, to ensure you submit your tourist visa application correctly the first time and avoid delays.
