PASS RENEWAL: Renew your Pass Online.  Online Pass renewal requires a credit card payment and the applicant's verification of the required Certifications, Conditions and Requirements.  Pass renewal also requires the applicant to have their expiring or expired Pass in good condition in their possession.   If a Pass card is six or more years old, KCMBA will take a new photo for the pass (at KCMBA or remotely).
