For Romanian citizens, renewing a Romanian passport means submitting a passport renewal application, two current passport-approved photos as well as a number of authenticating documents and a passport renewal processing fee to the nearest passport processing center. In the U.S., Romanian citizens will need to send these documents to the Romanian Consulate, which is located in Los Angeles.
Visit a center authorized to take passport photos, and have four head-shot-style color photos taken against a plain, light background. The photos must be of your face, and your face cannot be obstructed by a hat, your hair or glasses. Your face should have a neutral expression. The U.S. Romanian Consulate requires four pictures, and it is recommended that you write your name on the back of the photos with a pencil.
