The wife and I are currently planning a trip abroad and need to get passports. She has never had a passport so we assumed that she just needs to go through the standard process. I on the other hand have a passport card from about 5 years ago. Since you can not fly with a passport card I will need to get the passport book. Can I go through and fill out the renewal application and receive a passport book? Or do I have start from the beginning again?

You need the book to renew. So you need to apply for a new first time DS-11.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/31/t...v=top-news&_r=0 Looks like passport applications are expected to take 50% longer this year (up to ~6 weeks), so just keep that in mind.

My passport expires this year, but I have lost it at some point in the last three years. How do I renew without the original passport?

Not to be a dick, but this is one of those super straightforward questions that's perfect for Google. https://www.google.ch/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=how%20to%20renew%20passport%20if%20you%20lost%20it 1.Complete a Statement Regarding a Lost of Stolen U.S. Passport Book And/Or Card (Form DS-64). 2.Complete an Application for a U.S. Passport (Form DS-11). 3.Bring a recent, color passport photograph. 4.Provide proof of your U.S. citizenship and identity. 5.Pay any applicable fees. https://travel.state.gov/content/passports/en/passports/lost-stolen.html And 6. write your passport number down somewhere, so at least you have that if you lose your passport.
