My wife and i travel often. Ths year trip to souel korea had to be canceled. TO UPDATE YOUR PASSPORT, DO IT ON LINE. We opted for not only our passport but also for as addition $35.00 a passport card. Why do people look to the villages to solve their problems???

Not correct. You cannot renew a passport online. It must be done by mail or in person.

Go to any post office. I did see passport applications at the at the Tax Collector/Sheriff's Office on 466 off of 466. Probably also at the Sumter County Annex on 466A

You may be able to get the form at a Post Office, but most of them do not accept the form for processing. The easiest way to get the form is on the State Department website. Then, you can either mail it in or go to a passport processing office, which are listed on the State Department website.

Last time I needed passport renewed we went to Orlando. Not necessarily the most convenient but was very efficient.
