1. If it was issued originally before you were 18, it expired in 5 years. After 18, ten years. If it is expired, go ahead and just apply anew like you would for the first time. If not, try filling out the lost Passport form online with the limited information you know first.

2. If you are in a state that allows gender marker changes on Birth Certificates, the new rules won't affect you if you just wait to apply with your amended Birth Certificate with your new name and gender on it. Otherwise, get your Passport with your old name but new gender on it now, you can then for free within one year once you get your name change order amend the name.

Thanks! So I live in Ohio but was born in California. My name has been legally changed otherwise, and I have the court order to show

Isn't it ten years for those issued age 16 and older?
