Adding Pages to a Passport

Adding Pages to a Passport

If you would like to insert new passport pages in your passport, please complete and sign Form DS-4085 and submit this form to the Consular Section with your original passport.  Normally, this is a walk-in service that takes approximately one hour.  However, you may also choose to return the next working day to pick up your passport. You may add extra pages twice to a passport.

Amendments

Consular Sections can no longer amend U.S. passports.  The State Department will issue you a new passport at no additional fee if your last passport was issued less than one year ago, and you would like to apply for a new passport due to one of the following reasons:

• You have had a legal name change
• You would like to extend the validity of a limited passport
• Your previous passport has a printing error 

To apply for a replacement passport, you must appear in person and submit the following items:

• Completed and signed Form DS-5504.
• Previous passport;
• Two full-face 2 inch by 2 inch identical color photographs taken within the last six months with a white or light background.
• The documentation required for the change (see page 2 of the Form DS-5504)

If your previous passport was issued more than one year ago, you must apply for a new passport through the normal process.
