Hi just renewed my wife's passport and am sharing experience because sometimes people ask about the subject. Did renewal by mail. Went to Fedex for photo no appt needed. filled out renewal form on line and printed it, attached photo, included check. Hint include persons name and date of birth who is applying on the check. I requested expedited service and express mail return. cost $ 211.36.... Mailed application on Feb 28 late afternoon and received passport yesterday March 17 in my regular mail.. not bad as that included three weekends and there was a one day severe weather delay. when you arrive in SXM with a brand new passport be sure to press it very firmly on the arrival kiosk because the new passports are stiffer...we learned that with mine in February!!
happy Travels, BISH
