Message for U.S. Citizens

The Department of State is pleased to announce that U.S. Embassy San Jose will begin supporting online payment for DS-82 passport renewal fees. Qualified applicants will no longer need to make an interview appointment at the U.S. Embassy. Beginning March 21, 2022, passport applicants wishing to pay for their DS-82 renewal application online may visit https://cr.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/passports/online-fee-payment/ to determine eligibility to use this option. If eligible, applicants may then submit payment via U.S. or international credit or debit card, electronic funds transfer from a U.S.-based bank account, Amazon Pay, or Pay Pal. For questions about this online fee payment option please contact the American Citizen Services unit at ACSSANJOSE@state.gov
