Do you need to renew your passport? You can now do it online. The State Department has opened a trial run allowing a limited number of people to apply to renew their passports online.

Windows will open at midday Eastern time each day and 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 be able to apply online, including being 25 or older, not changing any personal information, and ensuring you won't travel overseas for at least eight weeks after applying.
