Helpful Hints for Passport Renewal

It is important that you do not leave any fields on the US Passport renewal form blank. If it is necessary to cross something out, strike through the word(s) 1 time and initial next to it. If you have several cross outs, it is best to start over with a new passort renewal application. The information you provide should match the information on your current passport. If your name has changed since your last passport was issued, you will need to include an ORIGINAL document such as a marriage certificate or divorce decree that proves your name was legally changed. You will also need to include a copy of a photo ID that shows your new, changed name. Original documents will be returned. If you have not legally changed your name, make sure you list your name(s) the same way that you did on your previous passport. To prevent delays sign all documents the same; if your signature varies, it could delay your service.
