Can I renew my passport at an Acceptance Facility?
No. If you are renewing your passport with Form DS-82, acceptance facilities will not take your application. Acceptance facilities should never charge you a $35 fee for renewing your passport. These locations should only charge you a $35 fee if you are applying for a new passport using Form DS-11.
