Application For US Passport By Mail {DS-82}

DS-82 - U.S. PASSPORT RENEWAL APPLICATION FOR ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS. This form is used by U.S. citizens or non-citizen nationals who already have a valid or recently expired passport and meet specific eligibility requirements to renew it by mail rather than applying in person. This form may be used if the applicant’s most recent passport was issued when they were age 16 or older, issued within the last 15 years, and is not damaged, mutilated, or reported lost or stolen. It also applies if the applicant’s name has not changed since the passport was issued, or if the name has changed due to marriage or court order and proper certified documentation can be provided. The renewal process requires submission of the completed form, the most recent passport, a new passport photo, and supporting documents if there has been a legal name change. This form provides a convenient and streamlined way for eligible individuals to obtain a new 10-year passport without going through the more extensive in-person application process. By filing this application, travelers can maintain valid proof of U.S. citizenship and secure an updated travel document necessary for international travel. www.FormsWorkflow.com
