I was born and raised in the US till I was 11, before leaving to live abroad.....whats the procedure on renewing my US passport, and would this procedure make a difference on passport strength?
Hi....this is my first time here and I'm generally really clueless about this stuff please be patient with me (not even sure if this the proper place to post this query lol).
Okay, so the thing is that I was born in the US and I spent the first 11 years of my life there, before my entire family shifted abroad to Pakistan....and I've been here ever since (I'm 26). And when I say that, I mean I've never left the country or (in a nutshell) never had to use my passport (which is a blue US passport) since. Nowadays, I'm planning to travel abroad for higher studies sometime in the future (possibly to Europe or Canada), but I'm curious to know whether my passport would still be eligible after all this time....especially given I left the country before turning 18. If required, what would the procedure be for the renewal of my passport...and would this have an effect on how eligible the passport is for travelling wherever? Would I still need a VISA to go wherever, or would the passport still be enough for everything?
Thanks in advance.
