US Passport Renewal Restrictions: Damaged, Lost, or Stolen

The rules for updating a passport remain the same when the document has been lost or stolen.

However, there are specific circumstances where a passport cannot be renewed. These include:

• The passport was issued when the individual was under 16 years old.
• The passport was issued 15 years or more ago.
• The passport does not reflect the individual’s current legal name, and there is no documentation to prove the name change.

in situations where renewal is not possible, citizens must apply for a new passport using the DS-11 form. The application fee is $160, and the issuance fee is $35.

Shifting Support for Deportations

Recent opinion polls from CNN and CBS indicate that 57% of Americans oppose the construction of mass detention centers within the U.S.and the new immigration policies implemented by President Donald Trump.

Trump secured victory in the previous year’s election, partly on the promise of initiating a historical deportation campaign, during which he characterized undocumented immigrants as “wild” and “animals.” Six months into his current term, the Republican is experiencing a decline in public support, according to the surveys.
