A passport's validity is generally determined by the applicant's age. In the US, passports issued for adults ages 16 and older are valid for 10 years. Children 15 years of age and under receive passports valid for 5 years. There are two primary exceptions to this rule: a second passport is valid for 2 years and an emergency passport is valid for 1 year. In some instances, when replacing a lost passport, for example, the Department of State may issue a passport with lesser validity (usually 1 or 2 years).
Passports issued to children under age 16 are valid for 5 years. Children under 16 must renew their passports in person and follow the same guidelines as when the passport was first issued, including being accompanied by parents or guardians.
