Can minors renew their passport?

I'm planning on going to Cancun for my senior spring break, but i don't have access to my passport. My parents have my *expired* passport, but I can't ask them for it. So my question is: do I need to bring my old passport in order to get a new one? And is it even possible for me to renew a passport as a minor?

Answer:
NO, a minor can NOT get a passport on their own without their parents. A minor can NOT RENEW a passport on their own.

Parents are legally RESPONSIBLE for children.

That you have been getting in and out of the United States without your parents knowing - as a MINOR as you have stated - causes real concern on just what the border guards are doing on the border and just where your parents are when you are doing such.

Have you not heard of how many young women are raped, killed, disappear never to be seen again - even in Cancun? Maybe spend some of your time looking up such and seriously thinking about what you are planning on attempting is more than in order.
You do need your old passport and your parents consent if you are a minor to renew or apply for a new passport as long as you are not an adult.
If you are a minor, your parent or guardian has to renew your passport; you cannot. Yes, you will need your old passport to get a new one.

Why can't you ask your parents for your old passport? You aren't trying to sneak off to Cancun behind their backs, are you? If you are not accompanied by a guardian, you will have trouble getting out of and re-entering the country, even with a passport.
parents should be present at the time of application
