Do not sign the application. The application must be signed in front of the Consular Officer at the time of your appointment.
Forms may also be downloaded from the Department of State’s website.
2. Photograph
You must submit one photograph taken within the last six months on a white background and that measures 5cm by 5cm. Please note that most mall photo booths can take these necessary pictures here in Iceland. If your photo does not meet the requirements, your application will be delayed until you are able to provide a correct photo. Please note that photo booths in Iceland have a ”passport photo” option that´s too small for US Passports. Please follow the instructions above. Click here for more information on photo requirements.

The fee for simple renewal of an adult U.S. passport is $130. Payment for adult renewals can be made by credit card or cash (ISK or dollars).
The fee to renew your passport if you cannot present your most recently issued passport, if you are applying for a first-time adult passport or if you are renewing a passport that was issued more than 15 years ago, is $165.
