My passport expired last summer. Where can I go nearby to get a new one. I called the number provided in The Villages phone book. But the recording said that office is closed. It gave another number to call so I called that number. But it is disconnected. Now what?

Summerfield post office for one. Many, but not all POs are passport agents. They say you need an appointment. Google passport renewal the villages and you'll see what you need and how much it costs.

Most Walgreens take passport photos and print while you wait. About $15.

Here's the link for a renewal application.

If you belong to AAA I think you can get free passport photos.

I believe if you passport expired less than 5 years ago you can renew online. Or, maybe it is 3 years. In either case you should be able to renew online.

Passport processing has been temporarily suspended because of Covid 19 unless a life and death situation . My daughters travelling companions for a trip next month found this out the hard way.

My wife and I got a passports two years at the Summerfield post office. It's on 301 a little ways past 42. Go on their website and you can make an appointment right on the site. I had gone to Walgreens and we had passport photos taken for $10 each. When we got there, they wouldn't accept my birth certificate, it was from Union Memorial Hospital in Baltimore, they only wanted one from the Department of Health. They wouldn't accept my wife's because they said it was too worn. They gave me a website to go to get a certificate. I went on the site, and they send a full page birth certificates for $10 each plus Fed Ex, so two with shipping it was about $40.

Also they did not accept our photos from Walgreens. Mine they said had too much shadow on my face and my wife they said didn't show enough shoulder. So when we made the second trip with good birth certificates, we had them take photos there for $15 each. All together it was expensive, about $300 for both counting everything. We took the original photos back to Walgreens and they gave us back our $20, no questions asked.

When I renewed mine, I had to send in the old one with new pictures. No on line unless thats been changed in the last couple of years

You should be able to renew it through the mail by sending in your old one with a new picture (Walgreens takes those) . Go on line to “Renew Passport” and hopefully you can still do that.

You can renew online if it is newly expired. Google passport renewal and you should find everything yoi need.
