You may submit a passport renewal by Correo Argentino or DHL only if all of the following apply:

Your passport is:

• Undamaged;
• Issued within the last 15 years;
• Issued with a 10-year validity (passports issued to minors are not eligible for this program and require an in person appointment); and
• Issued in your current name or you have changed your name (by change in marital status or court order only) since your passport was issued and can submit legal documentation (marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order) to prove this change.

For additional information and submission instructions please visit: https://ar.usembassy.gov/renew-your-10-year-validity-passport-via-courier-or-mail/

Acceptable payment methods for in-person passport appointments:

• Cash (dollars/pesos) or by an international credit card (the amount charged will be in USD). We cannot accept payment by mail. Payments are done at the Embassy the day of the appointment. If you pay with an Argentine-issued credit card, note that the Government of Argentina currently imposes additional taxes on foreign transactions.
  
  Note: Unfortunately we cannot accept defaced, soiled, marked, or torn dollar bills.

In general, to apply for a U.S. passport, you must:

• Fill out the appropriate application form;
• Provide evidence of U.S. citizenship;
• Provide supporting documents;
• Provide a photo;
• Pay the appropriate fee; and
• Submit the application.

Appointments are scheduled online at: https://cacms.state.gov/s/new-appointment .

You must bring your printed appointment confirmation page, completed forms, and original documents to your interview.

When scheduling the appointment, you should make a written note of the following:

• The appointment confirmation number generated.
• The date and time for your appointment. You will not receive email confirmation of the appointment date.
• The appointment password. You will require the password if you need to cancel the appointment. No record of your password is kept at the Embassy.

Each applicant requiring a service at the Embassy must have a separate appointment. Please contact the embassy or consulate if you are unable to schedule passport or CRBA services for all of your minor children on the same day: BuenosAires-ACS@state.gov

When you book the appointment, it is vital that you print or note down your password and the appointment date and time. You will not receive an automated appointment confirmation email or reminder emails.

Appropriate application forms for the required passport service can be found on the Embassy’s website at: https://ar.usembassy.gov/passports/

If using the online version of the application form, once you have answered all the questions the form will generate as a PDF file. You must print the application form as it cannot be submitted to the Embassy electronically. If you have difficulty with the online application form, there is a downloadable PDF version which can be printed and completed by hand using black ink.
