How to renew emergency US passport
Was in England for the last 2 weeks visiting my sick mother. It was an emergency so traveled to England on my UK passport as didn't have a US one yet.
Went to London and was given a US emergency passport for one year to travel back to the US. Was told to apply for a full US passport once home but I don't know which form to use, does anyone know? not sure at all. Thank you in advance. |
Re: How to renew emergency US passport
I can see your dilemma. Does the US government consider an emergency document issued by the US Consulate to be a first time passport or just a travel document.
From the horse's mouth ... here you go https://travel.state.gov/content/pas...-validity.html Why is your passport limited? When was it issued? How you replace it Your limited passport was issued outside the United States in an emergency. Less than one year ago Submit the following by mail (if in the United States) or in person at an embassy/consulate (if abroad): • Form DS-5504 or Form DS-11 (refer to your letter) • Your limited passport • One color passport photo Please Note: You will not have to pay any fees if you paid the fees when you applied for your limited passport (unless you request Expedited Service). |

Hi Rete and thank you.
Not sure which form to use as I was given no letter just a piece of paper telling me to renew the emergency passport once home. Did you by chance go the site I gave the URL for? It has other information there might be helpful. |
Re: How to renew emergency US passport
This is the heading of Form 5540
APPLICATION FOR A U.S. PASSPORT CORRECTIONS, NAME CHANGE WITHIN 1 YEAR OF PASSPORT ISSUANCE, AND LIMITED PASSPORT HOLDERS Since you are a limited passport holder .... guess this is your form. DS-11 is for those who have had previous US passports. |
