WASHINGTON (AP) — There's an easier way to renew your passport — online.
The State Department has opened a trial run allowing a limited number of people to apply for their updated travel documents with a few clicks. You can't just start anytime — windows will open at midday Eastern time each day and then close once the system has reached its daily limit.
The department says it's taking it slow so it can monitor how the system is working. There are also a series of requirements to meet to be able to apply online, including:
— You're 25 or older.
