Adding Pages to a Passport
If you would like to insert new passport pages in your passport, please complete and sign Form DS-4085 and send it to the Consular Section with your original passport with a trusted friend during routine American Citizen Services hours. You are not required to appear in person to add pages. The passport will be ready for pick up the next working day. You may add extra pages twice to a passport.
Amendments
Consular Sections can no longer amend U.S. passports. The State Department will issue you a new passport at no additional fee if your last passport was issued less than one year ago, and you would like to apply for a new passport due to one of the following reasons:
- You have had a legal name change
- You would like to extend the validity of a limited passport
- Your previous passport has a printing error
To apply for a replacement passport, you must appear in person and submit the following items:
- Completed and signed Form DS-5504.
- Previous passport;
- Two full-face 2 inch by 2 inch identical color photographs taken within the last six months with a white or light background. Photo Shops in Dakar.
- The documentation required for the change (see page 2 of the Form DS-5504)
If your previous passport was issued more than one year ago, you must apply for a new passport through the normal process.
