Answering your question, “Do I need an appointment for a passport renewal process?â€, it won't be necessary if you start your process online.
Renew your passport approximately nine months before it expires. Check the expiration date because certain countries require passports to remain valid for up to six months after travel. Also, some airlines do not allow you to board if you do not meet this requirement.
