Search the web for the proper application, fill out all information completely, provide your signature, return it and wait for your new sheets.

Current Valid Passport

Your documentation must be currently valid and up to date in order to add pages. You also should not plan on adding any sheets until you have only 2 to 4 remaining. If your records are valid for only one to two years, you may want to apply for a renewal as well.

Passport Renewal

If you are interested in renewing, this is also a simple process and is even easier than applying for a new one. You can apply by mail but this can take up to six weeks or longer. If you need your renewal sooner, just visit your nearest regional agency and get it expedited. There are also excellent online companies waiting to assist you. All of the regular requirements still apply and you may need to show up in person to expedite the process.

The first section relates to all your personal information such as date of birth, sex, phone numbers and address, additional contact information, Social Security number, place of birth and so on.

At the bottom of the application you must provide your signature and date it.

A few Internet searches and you can find the form you need. Once you find the application, download it, fill it out and save it to your computer.
