U.S. Passport Re-Application Form: DS-5504

PLEASE PRINT OUT AND SUBMIT ONLY ONE-SIDED PAGES OF THE APPLICATION.

Please type or print legibly in black ink when completing all sections of this application.

This form should only be used for making a data change for a previously issued, currently valid U.S. passport WITHIN one year from the date of issue:

• When there is a change in your identifying information, such as a name-change due to marriage or by court order;
• To extend the validity of certain previously limited passports; or
• To correct a Passport Services’ printing error.

There is no charge for routine service, which is receipt of your replacement passport within 6 weeks from the date you submit it.

If Expedited Service is requested for any of the above, with the exception of an error by Passport Services, there is an additional charge of $60 per application, plus the cost of two-way overnight delivery for receipt within 2 weeks from the date you submit your application.

When submitting, please include:

• Re-Application Form DS-5504,
• The passport to be replaced,
• The documentation required for the change (see Instruction Page 2 of the form), and
• New photos.

Please follow the instructions on the form carefully. Complete, sign, and date the application. When submitting by mail, send the application form to:
