Correspondingly, can you use your child passport when you turn 18?
You can use your child passport until it expires, even if you're over 18. An adult passport is valid for 10 years.
Also, does my child need a new passport when she turns 16? Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a passport renewal for a teenager. Even if your teen has a passport that was issued before he or she turned 16, it can't be renewed. Instead, the new adult passport process must be used. Only passports that were issued after the applicant turned 16 can be renewed.
Similarly, it is asked, how long is a child's US passport good for?
5 years
Can you still use a child passport when you turn 16?
Answer: Passports issued to minors age 15 or younger are valid for only 5 years from the date of issue while those issued to applicants age 16 or older are valid for 10 years from the date of issue. Passport Services does not believe that minors age 16 and 17 need to be accompanied by parents to apply for passports.
