Quick answer

Form DS-82 is the U.S. Department of State application to renew an existing passport by mail. You can use it if your most recent passport is undamaged, was issued in the last 15 years when you were age 16 or older, and was issued in your current name (or you can document a name change). You complete and sign DS-82, then mail it with your old passport, a new photo, and the fee — you do not visit an office. With JustFill you upload the blank DS-82 PDF, the AI auto-detects every field, you type or dictate your details, and you download the completed form free.

What is DS-82?

Need to renew your U.S. passport without an in-person appointment? Form DS-82 is the State Department application for renewing an eligible passport by mail. JustFill turns the official PDF into a fillable form you complete in your browser — no printing or scanning to fill it in. You qualify for DS-82 (instead of the in-person DS-11) if your most recent passport book or card is undamaged, was issued within the last 15 years, was issued when you were 16 or older, and is in your current name. Otherwise you must apply in person on Form DS-11.

Who fills out DS-82?

  • U.S. citizens renewing a passport book or card that was issued within the last 15 years
  • Adults whose most recent passport was issued at age 16 or older
  • Travelers whose passport is undamaged and in their current name (or who have a legal name-change document)
  • People who prefer to renew by mail rather than visit a passport acceptance facility

Field-by-field breakdown

What each section of DS-82 asks for. JustFill’s AI will detect these fields automatically when you upload the PDF — review the breakdown below so you know what to enter.

Name & date of birth

Your full legal name and DOB exactly as they should appear on the new passport.

Most recent passport details

Passport number, issue date, and the name it was issued in — the passport you are mailing back.

Name change (if any)

Your previous name and the supporting document (marriage certificate or court order) if your name changed.

Mailing & permanent address

Where the new passport and your returned old passport should be sent.

Contact & travel

Phone, email, and (optional) upcoming travel plans for expedited handling.

Signature & date

Sign and date in black ink after printing — an unsigned DS-82 will be returned.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • 1Using DS-82 when you are not eligible — a damaged, lost, or 15-year-old passport requires the in-person DS-11 instead.
  • 2Forgetting to enclose the most recent passport, the photo, or the correct fee — all three must accompany the form.
  • 3Using a non-compliant photo. The State Department rejects photos that are not 2x2 inches, recent, and on a plain white background.
