Fill out a DS-82 form online

As a rule, US citizens need to renew their passports every ten years. If their recent US passport is not damaged or stolen, a US citizen can use a DS-82 form or a US passport renewal application. The form allows citizens and non-citizen nationals to apply for a new passport without having to appear in person — they can just submit a DS-82 form by USPS mail. Complete and sign your DS-82 form online to obtain a new US passport faster.

What is a DS-82 form?

The passport renewal application is the easiest way to obtain a new US passport book or passport card; you don’t need to schedule an appointment with an acceptance agent and wait your turn in the line. Fill out and sign your application on any mobile or desktop device and send it via USPS. The only setback is that the DS-82 form carries a number of eligibility restrictions such as:
Your expired passport must be in good condition
Your expired passport must be issued not later than fifteen years ago
You had to be at least sixteen years of age when your expired passport was issued
Your name in the expired passport must match your current name (or you should provide evidence to reflect your name change)

Keep in mind: if you don’t meet at least one of these requirements, use the DS-11 form to apply for a new US passport. Unfortunately, your personal presence is obligatory in this case.

Processing time: it usually takes ten weeks to process the application. If you need a new passport urgently, the expedited process takes up to six weeks and costs an extra $60.
How to fill out your DS-82 form
Filling out the DS-82 form is straightforward and easy. The application has two pages for completion and a checklist on the first page of the form (for your personal use only). Just as with a DS-11 form, you have to provide information about yourself, include your color photo, and sign the form.
Here are step by step instructions:
01
Fill out your current and previous name(s), date of birth, social security number, mailing address, and marital status.
02
Add your color photo to the form. Follow all the requirements listed.
03
Sign the application. You can draw and type your signature, or upload its image.
04
Provide more personal information: your height, hair, eye color, and occupation.
05
Add your permanent address in the US; it will be used to mail you a new passport.
06
Provide information about your emergency contact.
07
Share your travel plans.

After this, you have to pay the application fee ($110 for a passport book, $30 for a passport card, or $140 for both), and send the DS-82 form to one of the three addresses mentioned on the last page of the form.
