About DS-82

Form DS-82 is the passport renewal application you can complete and mail yourself — no in-person appointment required — if you meet the eligibility rules. You qualify to renew with DS-82 if your most recent passport is undamaged and you can submit it with the application, it was issued when you were 16 or older, it was issued within the last 15 years, and it was issued in your current name (or you can document your name change with a marriage certificate or court order). If any of those isn't true, you generally need to apply in person on Form DS-11 instead.

Unlike the DS-11, you do sign the DS-82 yourself — there's no in-person oath. The form collects your name, date and place of birth, SSN, contact details, and the information from your most recent passport. You mail the signed form together with your current passport (which is returned to you separately), one passport photo, any name-change documentation, and the renewal fee to the address in the instructions for your state.

FormatFuse opens the official State Department DS-82 and lets you fill and sign it in your browser — your SSN, passport number, and personal details never leave your device. Print the completed form, sign and date it, and mail it with the required enclosures. Because renewals are processed by mail, double-check the current fee and mailing address on the State Department's site before sending, and consider trackable mail for your old passport.

How to fill DS-82

Privacy reminder. Your inputs — including your SSN, EIN, or PAN — never leave your browser. We do not log or transmit form values.

This tool fills the form, it does not give advice. It puts the information you enter onto the official PDF. It does not calculate your taxes, check your answers, or tell you if something is wrong. Compare everything to the official instructions, and if your situation is anything beyond simple, have a professional review it before you file or submit.

FormatFuse provides a privacy-first form-filling tool. We are not affiliated with the U.S. Department of State. Verify current fees and the correct mailing address on the State Department's site before mailing.

Frequently asked questions

Am I eligible to renew with DS-82 (by mail)?

Yes if ALL are true: you can submit your most recent passport with the form, it's undamaged, it was issued when you were 16 or older, it was issued within the last 15 years, and it was issued in your current name (or you can document a name change). If any one fails, you must apply in person on Form DS-11.

Do I sign the DS-82, or wait like with the DS-11?

You sign the DS-82 yourself — there's no in-person oath for a mail renewal. (That's the opposite of the DS-11, which you must leave unsigned until an acceptance agent witnesses it.) Sign and date the DS-82 before mailing.

What do I mail with the DS-82?

The signed form, your current (most recent) passport, one compliant passport photo, any name-change documentation, and the renewal fee. Your old passport is returned to you, usually separately from the new one. Mail to the address listed in the form instructions for your state.

Is it safe to fill the DS-82 in my browser here?

Yes. The PDF and everything you enter — including your SSN and passport number — stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded or logged. You print, sign, and mail the form physically; it's never transmitted online through us.
