The State Department has launched an updated online passport renewal service, making it possible for travelers to forgo mailing documents and upload them digitally instead.
Right now, the rollout is restricted to certain windows at midday Eastern time — starting at 1 p.m., according to The Wall Street Journal.
Once a daily limit of applications is reached, the system will close. The department advises travelers to try again another day if they get a message saying they can't start their applications.
Travelers should watch a video on how to select and upload their passport photo.
The limited-service run is expected to last for several months.
