How to Add Pages to Passport

Need more visa pages? You can add pages to your passport if you have less than 2 to 4 visa pages remaining in your passport book. The process is really very simple. All you need to do is fill out Form DS-4085: Application for Additional Visa Pages, and mail it in with your current valid passport and payment of the fee. The form is just one page and takes only a few minutes to complete. If you travel extensively, you may want to apply for a passport renewal and request a passport book with 52 pages in it.
