Passports – Amendments
Passports are no longer amended. In order to
change information on your passport, you must submit a new passport application.
If you meet the specific criteria outlined below, you can use the no-fee
passport amendment form,
Form DS-5504, to apply for a new passport. Otherwise, you would
need to use the
form DS-11 and make an appointment.
If applying for amendments complete the
following form:
Form DS-5504.
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, divorce or by court order;
-
To
extend the validity of certain previously limited passports; or
-
To
correct a Passport Services’ printing error.
In order to have data in your passport changed or
amended, you will need to present evidence in support of the proposed change.
There is no fee for this service.
You may come to the Consular Section any Monday or Wednesday between the hours
of 10:00 am y 11:00 am to apply for an amended passport. Processing time is
approximately three weeks. |
