Mailed My Passport to the US for Renewal

Upvote:6

When the State Department issues you the new passport, they will also return the old one (with some holes punched through it to invalidate it). In most instances, you can simply show the stamp in your old passport, along with your new passport.

IIRC, though, there are a few places that require stamps to be transferred to the new passport. So you may want to contact the immigration service of whatever country you're in, just to make sure.

EDIT: RedBaron suggests in a comment that you might be concerned that the US won't properly process your renewal because you don't have an exit stamp. If so: Don't worry. The US does not care about exit stamps, certainly not while processing a passport renewal. (In my own passport, which has since been renewed, I had about three missing exit stamps.)
