📖 How It Works

Passport rules and validity periods vary by age. Children need different passport types and have shorter validity periods than adults. Our calculator helps you understand what passport rules apply to you based on your current age and the type of passport application you're making.

Simply enter your birth date and select the type of passport application. The calculator will determine your age and show you the relevant passport validity period, application type, and any special requirements you need to be aware of. This information is based on standard U.S. passport rules and may vary by country.

👶 Child Passport Rules (0–16)

Children under 16 must apply for a passport in person with both parents or legal guardians. The child passport is valid for 5 years. Renewal also requires both parents' consent. Both parents must be present or provide a notarized statement of consent.

🧑 Minor Passport Rules (16–18)

Minors aged 16–17 can apply for a passport with parental consent. The validity period may range from 5 to 10 years depending on the country. Some countries treat 16-17 year olds as adults for passport purposes, while others still require parental involvement.

👤 Adult Passport Rules (18+)

Adults aged 18 and over receive a standard 10-year passport. Renewal can typically be done by mail using Form DS-82 if you meet certain criteria. Adults 65 and older may have access to senior renewal options and fee waivers in some jurisdictions.
