DS-82: U.S. Passport Renewal Application

What this form is for

These State Department forms cover passport applications, renewals, replacements, and name changes. Blank forms are free at travel.state.gov. You sign the form and send it in yourself, with the agency's fee.

This form cannot be filled on a computer. We prepare your answers as a Prep Sheet in the official form's exact order, and you copy them onto the official form or the agency's website.

About this form

Who it is for

U.S. citizens renewing an adult passport by mail — your most recent passport is undamaged, issued when you were 16 or older, within the last 15 years.

How filing works

Mailed to the National Passport Processing Center with your old passport, a new 2x2 photo, and the fee. Routine service typically takes several weeks; expedited costs extra.

What WhyFill does for you

Answer in your language and WhyFill prints your answers directly onto the official DS-82 — no hand-copying. Sign it, photo, check, mail. Israelis renewing a U.S. passport follow the same flow.
