While this is just a BETA release (meaning it's not perfect yet), you can now try to renew your passport online.
Travel.state.gov ~ "Eligible U.S. citizens can now renew their passports online. We're conducting a beta release of an updated online passport renewal system.
You may not be able to start your application on the day of your choice. The system will open for a limited midday eastern time window each day, and will close once we reach our limit for the day.
If you are unable to start your application, try again on another day. If you do not want to wait or do not qualify to renew online, you may also renew by mail now.
During the next several months, we plan to continue to limit the number of applications accepted each day so we can monitor the system’s performance in real time. This beta release during which we are limiting the daily applications is an important and standard part of the software development process.
We appreciate your patience while we test our system and prepare for a full launch of the updated online passport renewal system. " ~ Travel.state.gov
