Name Change and Correcting Passport Errors

Please use DS-5504 in order to make name changes or correcting information on your passport.

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

  • When there is a change in your identifying information, such as 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

When submitting, please include;

  • Re-application Form DS-5504
  • The passport to be replaced
  • The documentation required for the change (see instruction on page 2 of the form), and
  • New photos.

If it is MORE than one year since the date of issue, you must submit Form DS-82 (or (DS-11, if appropriate) and pay the applicable fees. Of course, no fees are required when the cause is a printing error by Passport Services. For more information please see Form DS-82.
