| Step or field | Result |
|---|---|
| Published route | State directs this situation to an in-person application. |
| Location | Check the US embassy or consulate for the country where you will apply. |
| Online option | The current official page requires applicants to be in a US state or territory when submitting online. It publishes no foreign-country rollout list. |
| Overseas expansion proposal | Proposed rule. No effective date in this document. |
| Child consent | Not evaluated. |
| Next step | Open the official passport instructions below before preparing the application. |
How is the result worked out?
Map the situation to State Department instructions. A potential renewal route requires checking every official eligibility condition. The overseas online proposal is never treated as current availability.
