U.S. Embassy Manama is pleased to announce the launch of an online payment program for adult passport renewals for U.S. citizens in Bahrain.

Effective January 29th, 2023, all adult passport renewal applicants who are eligible to use a DS-82 will no longer be restricted to paying only by cashier’s check or money order. Starting on the 29^th, eligible applicants may submit payment for their passport application fees online via the U.S. government’s secure payment site Pay.gov using the following payment methods:

• U.S. or international credit or debit card
• Electronic funds transfer from a U.S.-based bank account
• Amazon Pay
• PayPal

After a successful payment, the applicants may drop off the DS-82 adult renewal passport application form, a copy of their Pay.gov payment receipt, a new passport photo, and any required supporting documents at the Consular Drop Box – no appointment necessary.

Applicants who would like to renew their U.S. passport in Bahrain should visit https://bh.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/passports/ for further information on the new online payment process.
