Way to Apply For New/Second Passport While Keeping Current Passport
Because of the delays for US passport processing. I wanted to see whether there is any way to either:
a) Apply for a new passport while keeping my current passport, with the current passport remaining active (so that I can continue to use it and travel on it while waiting for my new passport or
b) Apply for a "second passport" without sending in my current passport, with my current passport remaining valid.
The thing that I am trying to see is if there is a way to put my passport in the queue for being processed, while being able to travel internationally in the mean time.
I am still regretting making the mistake of waiting so close to my passport expiring to renew it. My passport was does not expire until next March. Unfortunately, the pandemic made this a really difficult time to have to deal with passport renewal.
