    On line US passport renewal - Major Props

    IIRC you have to do a first time passport application the old school way, whatever that is these days. If your expired passport is not expired over 1 year, it's fine for the online system, but please, don't depend on my memory. Realistically, a passport that's going to expire in 6 months is...
