Can I renew my passport now even if it is still valid?
Yes, you can renew your passport while it is still valid provided there is a reason for doing so. If the passport contains no markings and is otherwise completely unused the traveler may need to provide a letter explaining as to why this service is being requested. VisaHQ recommends that you renew your passport prior to the final six months of validity as many countries will not permit travel with a passport containing fewer than six months validity remaining.
