The expedited pass port added pages come in handy when your passport is still in good condition and not past its expiration date but all of the pages are covered in stamps. This is usually because you have done a lot of international travelling and the pages have become full of visas from other countries as well as entry and exit stamps. United States citizens may add new sections on two occasions. After that, they will be required to obtain a new one.
Complete Appropriate Form
Requests for blank sections to be added must be submitted on a Form D-4085. Blank forms may be downloaded from the government website or obtained at a passport agency or acceptance facility. If accessing the form over the Internet, it may be either completed online and printed out or it may be printed and then completed by hand. The completed form must be signed on the first page.
Printing and Completion
Forms should be printed one page per sheet. It must be legible and completed in black ink. If the form is not completed correctly, especially if it does not include the Social Security Number, the application will be delayed.
What To Submit
When the form has been correctly filled in and signed on the first page, it should be sent to the national processing center along with the correct fee and the current passport. There are two different addresses, one for a routine request and one for urgent requests. They are almost identical apart from their zip code. Care must be taken to use the right address to ensure the application is sent to the right office.
Expedited Delivery
Requests for routine delivery time are processed within four to six weeks. Expedited delivery, when requested, takes two to three weeks. If the passport is required for travel within two weeks or if it is necessary to send it to another embassy to obtain a visa, then it is necessary to make an appointment to see someone at a passport agency. If an application has been submitted and international travel is scheduled to take place within seven days, it is necessary to telephone and speak to a Customer Service Representative at the National Passport Information Center.
Overseas Requirements
The requirements are slightly different if the request is made when the holder is overseas, for example, at the American Embassy in London. For one thing, they are not authorized to accept either cash or personal checks. They also cannot accept over-payment. They will accept credit cards, bankers drafts, certain debit cards or an international money order in the exact dollar amount.
Additional Information
Sometimes these new USA passport applications are not approved. In these cases, the fee is will not be refunded. Ex-patriot Americans living in the United Kingdom must follow different instructions, depending on whether they live in England or Wales, in Northern Ireland or in Scotland. Unless foreign travel is due to take place in less than 10 days, applications may be submitted via the mail.
