Depending on how damaged or mutilated your passport is, you will apply on a DS-11 or a DS-82 form.

If the biographical information is obliterated or the passport photo is unrecognizable, you will apply on a DS-11 form.

If the biographic data and photograph are legible, intact, and identifiable you may apply on Form DS-82.

The consular officer will determine which application is acceptable in your specific case after inspecting the damaged or mutilated passport.  We recommend you complete both forms before you arrive on the appointment date.

1. Form DS 11. or DS 82, depending on the case. You can print the form from the Department’s public facing e-Forms webpage to ensure you are using the latest version.

   • All applications must be filled out in black ink.
