Need to Renew or Replace a U.S. Passport?

For new passport applications, you can only use Form DS-11. If this is your first time applying, or your last passport was damaged, this is the correct form.
However, you must use a different form if:
  • You are renewing your passport because it is going to expire.
  • You plan to report a lost or stolen passport.
  • Your passport expired less than 5 years ago.
