ANNOUNCEMENT: Beginning May 22, 2022, U.S. Embassy Rome and U.S. Consulates General Milan, Naples and Florence will begin accepting online fee payments for adult U.S. passport renewal applications.  Paying online allows you to mail your application to the U.S. Embassy/Consulate General without the need to apply in person.  Qualifying adult passport renewal applicants may pay the $130 passport renewal fee online via U.S. or international credit or debit card, electronic funds transfer from a U.S.-based bank account, Amazon Pay, or Pay Pal.  Please see the eligibility requirements below to determine if you are eligible for online fee payment.  See our FAQs page for more information on this new process.

Please note that the online fee option is limited to U.S. citizens residing in Italy and the Republic of San Marino.  Online fee payment is currently available for passport book renewals only.  If you wish to renew or apply for a passport card, you must make an appointment to apply in person at the Embassy or Consulate General nearest you.
