And why would anyone order the 32-page (standard) passport instead of the 52-page (large) passport? They are both the same price.

Finally, a passport is for ten years but you can’t use it for travel after 9.5 years because many countries require that you have a valid passport with six months remaining.

So you have to renew it about 8-9 months before it expires. The new passport should run from the date the old one expires - not from the date it is issued.

The State Department recommends renewing it nine months before it expires.
Go to Summerfield post office. Take old passports and new pictures. It took 15 minutes and received new passports in two weeks.
