Renewing a US Passport without getting rid of the old one
I have an issue with my US passport where I am running out of passport pages for stamps/visas. My current passport expires in 2023, but I need to get a new one.
However, I recently began traveling quite often. In particular, I do not think that there is a 2 week period I can go about daily life without my passport. I understand that I am supposed to fill out a form and mail in my current passport, but that seems especially hard for me with my current lifestyle.
What is the best way to fix this issue? Or, is the only solution for me to take a break from life for however long it takes to get a new passport?
