Extra passport pages in my renewed passport

by Rebecca
(Maywood, IL, USA)

Question: I would like to renew my passport now (even though it doesn't expire in the next five years) for a trip around the world. Is it possible to get a renewed passport with extra pages added at the time of renewal? I would like my passport renewed but WITH EXTRA PAGES due to the number of countries I'll be visiting and all the visas. Can I request these pages at the same time I'm renewing the passport?

Thank you!

Answer: Yes, you can order the 52-page passport book instead of the standard 28-page version. Just indicate your choice when you fill out Form DS-82. You can mail the completed application form along with your current passport, one passport photo and payment of fees to the address in the form.

Effective January 1, 2016, The U.S. Department of State no longer issues additional visa pages. This service has been discontinued to enhance the security of U.S. Passports and to adhere to international passport standards.

Passport card

Question: I currently hold a valid passport book and valid passport card. They do not expire for many more years. However, I need to renew my passport book because I am running out of visa pages. Can I just renew my passport book WITHOUT renewing my passport card? Can I travel by sea to the Caribbean with my passport card while I am waiting for my passport book to be renewed?

Answer: Yes, you can renew your passport book without renewing your card. For good measure, you may request for the 52-page passport book, especially if you are planning on traveling a lot in the next few years.

Also, you may travel to the Caribbean via sea using your passport card.

by: Grandma Lucy

Question: My Passport will be due on 1/2017, yet I only have 2-Visa pages left. If I am applying a renewed " Extra Pages " Passport now, do I get that 1-year extra length of time ( from 10/ 2015 to 1/2017 ) for my new Passport ?
Thank you.

Answer: If you apply to add pages to your passport, the fee will be $82 and it will still expire in 01/2017.

If you apply for a renewal, the fee will be $110 (presuming you were age 16 or older when you current passport was issued) but your new passport will be valid for 10 years from the date of issue.
