No Amendments
September 19, 2005

Effective September 26, 2005, as an additional security
enhancement, Passport Services will no longer amend valid passports. Instead, customers
requesting name changes, extension of validity for limited passports, or correction of a
printing error will apply for replacement passports.
If the change is within one year after
issuance, they will submit a U.S.
Passport Re-Application Form (DS 5504), together with the passport that needs the change,
the documentation required, and new passport pictures. There will be no charge for routine
processing.
If the change is more than one year after issuance,
customers will need to submit an Application for Passport By Mail (DS-82), together with
the passport that needs the change, the documentation required, and new pictures. The cost
includes the $55 application fee and $12 security surcharge, for a total of $67 for
routine processing. Of course, if the requested data change is due to a printing error by
Passport Services, there will be no charge.
Those only needing to add visa pages to their
passports will submit an
Application for Additional Visa Pages (DS-4085). This service is always free of charge
when routine.
If expedited service is requested for any of these
changes, except an error by Passport Services, there will be an additional charge of $60
per application. The purchase of two-way overnight delivery remains optional but is
recommended if time is short.
All of these forms will be available online at
http://travel.state.gov.
The Passport
Amendment/Validation Form (DS-19), previously used to amend passports, will no longer be
valid. For more information on applying for a U.S. passport, forms, and a wealth of other
international travel information, please visit website at
