Replacing an Emergency Passport

If you were issued an emergency passport, we encourage you to replace this with a full validity passport immediately upon completion of your travel. You may not be issued another emergency passport until this passport is replaced. Please submit the following to replace your emergency passport:

• Your DS-82 application form (for minor under age 16, the application form must be signed by the same person that signed the emergency passport);
• Your emergency passport;
• Two (2) identical, recent, color photographs taken full face, with a white background, measuring 5 cm by 5 cm (2 in x 2 in). Please ask the photographer for photos for a U.S. passport, otherwise you may be given the wrong format.

When traveling, please remember to carry a photocopy of your passport separately from your passport. In the event of loss or theft, the copy will facilitate issuance of an emergency passport.
