If you are the USC, you dont need to send a copy of your passport as proof of citizenship if you have a birth certificate to use instead. If you want to use it for traveling, you should look into getting it renewed ASAP. The state dept has quite abit of backlog due to the new passport rules for travel to Canada and Mexico.

thanks that is right everyone is getting one now

From what I have been reading the passport office is backlogged due to new regulations requiring passports to fly in and out of Canada and Mexico. You may want to get it replaced ASAP and not wait too close to when you may want to travel
