So, can you pay passport fee with credit card? Yes, but not always, and not for everything. It’s like dating: complicated, but worth it for the right outcome.
If you’re going in person, bring both plastic and paper. If you’re renewing online, go wild with that card. And if you’re mailing it in, please don’t forget the check. I’ve heard horror stories of people mailing $110 in cash. Don’t be that legend.
Go get that passport. The world is waiting. And your credit card is ready for the adventure—even if the government makes you jump through a few hoops first.
