The White House says passport renewal, filing taxes and getting through airport security could become easier under a new executive order.
Those include:Using advanced screening features at airports to shorten security and check-in lines.Giving tax filers the option of scheduling customer support callbacks and expanding electronic filing options.President Joe Biden speaks during an event in the South Court Auditorium on the White House complex in Washington, Nov. 22, 2021.
“I know it sounds like a simple thing," Biden said when he signed the order, flanked by cabinet officials, "but I think it’s pretty consequential.”The ability to apply for passports online, for example, will start on a limited basis this month but will take time to dramatically expand, according to Neera Tanden, a senior advisor to Biden.
