Which application would I use if the information on my passport was incorrect due to typing error?

Question: When I received my passport for the first time back in 2005 it was incorrect and I never went back and had it corrected but now I need a passport to travel, but which form do I need to use?

The incorrect passport that I have now has that I'm from India but I'm from Indiana. I called the post office when I received it to make sure the state wasn't just shortened and they assured me that it was an error and needed to be corrected but I haven't needed a passport until now.

Answer: To correct typing errors in your passport, you need to use application form DS-5504. Click the link below for more information.
