Related: About this forumPassport Renewals Just Got Easier With This App
https://www.fodors.com/news/travel-tech/how-and-why-to-use-itseasy-passport-renewal-photo-appMeet ItsEasy Passport Renewal & Photo App, a way to simplify the process. The mobile app (available in the Apple App Store and Google Play) is the only contact-free way to renew an adult passport, all from the comfort of your home. You read that correctly. Fill out your renewal form, take your new passport photo, and pay in the app. You can also apply for a second passport and order a new passport when there is a name change. There are even options for obtaining VISAs.
One of the common causes of delays in passport processing is application or photo errors. When you submit your information, one of the specialists will review your documents to be sure they are error-free before forwarding your application to the state department. If they find any errors, a concierge will give you step-by-step directions on how to correct the issue.
While there are way more benefits to using ItsEasy, the last one to mention is the visa widget. This feature lets you know if the country you are visiting requires a visa. If so, you can apply for a visa in-app.
Your base price follows the U.S. Department of States schedule of fees for passport services. For instance, to renew a passport and passport card, the cost is $160. It costs an additional $60 for expedited processing.
They offer two service plans, economical and expedited. There is a nominal price difference, both under $40. However, if you need their other services, that price does increase. For instance, if you require a passport, ItsEasy charges $99 on top of the cost of the visa.

It cost me about $450 US to renew my passport. Cost another $500 to get my commercial visa for PRC. In both cases, I needed them in short order.
I'm not ready to trust this service just yet. Passport renewal is pretty easy, visa is very different.

seven passports over the years. You get your photo taken somewhere that normally does passport photos. AAA is a good choice.
