Difference between 1st AP and AP renewal

I am wondering what's the difference in application for the first AP and renewal of AP? My first AP expired last month, and prepare to get 2nd AP.

Do I just prepare the application package as the first one and use the same application form? or there is a special form I need to fill out, and whether much less documents I need to submit with my renewal application? Whether it would be easy for me to get 2nd AP approval, if I state in application somehow that I am renewing my AP?

Thanks
 
The procedure is same. Please get the latest i131 form from USCIS site since it has changed. There is nothing like AP renewal. You apply everytime with the same set of documents.
 
EAD renewal is different from 1st time application?
------ It is same but you need to attach copy of currant EAD (both sides) and the TOP mailer that you got with first time EAD from USCIS, fees $120 form I-756, 2 photographs and color copy of your DL and first page of passport (NSC and VSC are asking the color copy of DL and first page of passport that has your photograph, DOB, Passport #) directing Mailing is better than efiling
