Incredibly useful. Thanks so much.

Just checked. You cannot renew a passport that was issued after 2015 yet. So it appears you have to be within a year of expiration to renew.

I see that the by mail requirements are different! Thanks for pointing that out! 🙏🏽

Thanks again for mentioning! Btw, I'm in the by-mail process myself and will def. report back on how it goes!

Thanks for commenting -- is this something you were told? The gov't site still says that's true for renewing online, but that you can renew by mail (even if issued recently): https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/have-passport/renew.html

Yes. On this page you linked, click on Confirm you meet the requirements (step one): https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/have-passport/renew-online.html#Step%20One. There it says the passport you are renewing has to have been issued between 2009 and 2015.
