Second Duplicate Passport

A second passport is the exception to the rule of being in possession of more than one valid passport of the same type at any one time. There are several circumstances in which a second passport is authorized by the United States Bureau of Consular Affairs. Its validity is limited to two years and cannot be extended.

Complete Application Form DS-82

Submit Form DS-82: Application for a Passport by Mail if you already have a valid, undamaged passport. If you do not currently possess a valid passport or your passport is significantly damaged then you first need to submit Form DS-11: Application for a U.S. Passport in person. Once the new passport arrives, you can apply for the second passport using Form DS-82.

Gather Supporting Documents

You need to submit the following items in order to apply for a second valid passport by mail.

Social Security Number

If you not currently have an SSN then youo should fill in the passport application SSN box #5 with zeros. You MUST also fill out and sign the SSN Declaration and submit it with the passport application. Absence of the form will result in a delay of passport adjudication.

Second Passport Request Letter

Second passport request letter. You must also include a statement to the fact that you will immediately report the loss of either passport to Passport Services or the nearest U.S. embassy, consulate or consular agency.

Written Statement from Your Employer if applicable

Provide a formal written statement from your employer,on company letterhead, justifying the need for a second passport and stating the bearer's understanding that any loss or theft of either passport will be reported immediately to the nearest Consulate, Embassy, or passport agency.

Evidence of U.S. Citizenship and Identity.

Your previously-issued, valid and undamaged passport can be submitted for this purpose. If you will need your passport during the application process, you can submit the original or a certified copy of your birth certificate.

One recent passport photo

You must provide a color photograph, taken in last 6 months and with eyeglasses off. The correct size of a passport photo is: 2 x 2 inches.

Payment for passport fees
