Eligibility

You are eligible to renew by mail on Form DS-82 if you can answer yes to all the following:

• I can submit my most recent U.S. passport book by mail with my renewal application;
• I was at least 16 years old when my most recent passport book was issued;

• I currently reside in and/or have a valid mailing address in Indonesia.

If you are eligible to renew by mail, you do not need to make an appointment.

If you do not meet the criteria to renew by mail, you must renew your passport on Form DS-11 and make an appointment to submit an application in person.

Passport renewal by mail typically takes 4-6 weeks. If you have a need for immediate international travel, we may be able to issue you a limited validity emergency passport; please schedule an appointment to do so.  Be prepared to provide proof of your itinerary or urgent need to travel.

Online Fee Payment for DS-82 Adult Passport Renewals: 

If you will renew your passport via Form DS-82, you can pay the adult passport renewal application fee of $130.00 fee online at Pay.gov via ACH Bank Account Transfer (from a U.S. bank account), U.S. or international credit/debit card, PayPal, or Amazon Pay. This amount cannot be altered. You must pay the fee in U.S. dollars.

Pay the $130.00 passport application fee online via the U.S. government’s secure payment site . In the name fields on the payment site, please use your current legal name, even if it is different from the name that appears on your prior passport.  If you are submitting a payment on behalf of another passport renewal applicant, please enter their name.  All fields are required.

Online fee payment is currently available for passport book renewals only, and not for a passport book and passport card combination. If you wish to renew both a passport  book and card, please instead apply with DS-11 and book an appointment, as online payments for the passport card are not yet accepted.

After successfully paying the fee, you will receive a confirmation email. Please print out that electronic payment confirmation and include the printout it in the package you send to the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta or U.S. Consulate General in Surabaya.

If you are renewing a ten-year validity passport that has not yet expired or expired less than two years ago, and your name has not changed, you may send another person to the Embassy/Consulate to file the application for you.

If you do this, provide this person with a signed letter of authorization stating that you permit them to file a passport application on your behalf. You must sign the DS-82 form yourself; no proxy is allowed. Please note that if the passport official has any question about your eligibility for a U.S. passport, you will be required to appear in person.

If your prior passport expired more than two years ago, you must appear in person.

I reported to the Embassy that my passport was lost, but then I recovered it. May I use it to travel?

Once a passport is reported lost or stolen to the Embassy, it is immediately and automatically cancelled to prevent malafide travelers from using it. Even if you recover your passport, it must be replaced, as you will experience significant problems if you attempt to use it to travel.

The processing time for passport book applications submitted and approved at U.S. consular offices in Indonesia is typically ten days to two weeks (four weeks for passport cards).

You will receive email notification once your new passport book and/or card arrived.  Please reply to the email with the date you can come in to collect your passport.

If you have not received any notification, please email the office where you applied for your passport and give the applicant’s full name:

U.S. Embassy Jakarta: jakartaACS@state.gov

U.S. Consulate General Surabaya: surabayaACS@state.gov
