How to Fill Out Form DS-82; USA Passport Renewal Application for Eligible Individuals

Do you just leave the little box in the corner with the blank white rectangle with D O S NSR under it blank? I haven't been able to find if that is something I fill out or they fill out.

Left the last question blank on the eligibility form but I answered the other 5 questions as yes, will my renewal form get sent back to me? Everything else is signed / dated.

And if you didn’t get an official name change, how do you fill out section 9 for the name change? Just leave it blank?

My uncle lives in India. He is an USA citizen.Can someone else on my uncle's behalf receive his passport in anywhere in India? Please reply. Very much Appreciated your video. You are great

what would be the process if I already have an unexpired passport card, but need a passport book?

What is the box on upper right corner? 🔲D. 🔲O. 🔲S. 🔲NFR?? End #————- Exp————?.

For item number 10, i did my last name first because thats how the rest of the form is. I.e. i wrote Smith John instead of John Smith, is this fine or should i redo the form?

Wait a minute! It expires on oct of next year lmao 😅 see u in a year

In pade 3 or middle page on the top right , there's a box with small squares with the letters D,O,S and NFR. Is that for the use of the issuing officer? Thanks

This video has been so helpful. Can you leave Q17 blank if you don’t have an additional phone number?

I have a different question. My printer didn't print the shades of gray, basically everything that's meant to be blue but on your form is gray, it only printed what isn't blue but what is black.. does that matter? Because it's just shaded background

You didn’t address the last page! Duh

Can you put forward slashes between the numbers in the dates? Cause I did…😳

On number #10 where it asks for your name "as printed" on your most recent US passport book: passports have the Surname first and then the first and middle initial if included so should it be Doe, Jacob Marley or Jacob Marley Doe?

Very detailed. Thanks!

Which date do I use regarding my marriage certificate? There is the date issued, the date it was received from the officiant, our marriage date, and the date I picked up the certified copies!

Can i fill it online and then print and sign the application on hardcopy? Pls let me know

Question please. I submitted my renewal by mail AFTER fully understanding that it had to be expired no more than 5 yrs.
It’s expired 5 yrs and 4 months. Will they return the application and fees?

HI, thanks for the video,can you please video how to past the pitcher in application.

Excellent. Thanks! But how do I attach the photo? Do you need a special kind of stapler?

Are you supposed to include the expedite fee and normal fee in the same check?

Thank you! I was able to complete my form.

Can you write in all capital letters? Thank you.

In section 11. I'm currently married and been divorced before also ( first marriage). So for question widowed or divorced how would I answer?

Ok I got married two years ago, but I’m just now getting around to changing my last name. So for the date on section 11, do I put my wedding date or what date?

The only video that explains everything ❤

Hi. I live in Turkey, and I need to ask you something. My question is that I just paid 130 for passport processing using my debit card, but where do I pay them for the return envelope? Or does 130 cover the return envelope? If I do have to pay, what kind of check does it have to be and can I just bring it to my embassy appointment? Anything helps, thanks

What if you have a suffix like Jr.

Can my form be printed in color or does it have to be in black

Does it have to be all caps? I did it like normal. I was afraid they would require caps..

Since this is the renewal form, you should’ve went over the eligibility questions, those are worded weirdly

I accidentally filled out my permanent address even tho it is the same as mailing. Do I have to redo the form now?

Does it have to be printed before I mail it?

Thank you. Clearly explained.

For no. 18, what if I have no fixed abode but only a PO BOX? Can I leave it blank?

I’m an American and I live in the Philippines. We have no State but we have provinces. I live in Cavite province. My question is do I write Cavite on the State? It doesn’t fit though.

If you are a Jr and it’s included in your passport do you include it in the middle name or what are the appropriate sections? Jr is in the given names section of my passport.

I have my passport book but lost the card. Do I just fill the book information or do I need to apply for another form because I lost the card?

Do I need to take this form in person when I go to the office. ? I did it online but I never got anything back from them sfter I filled it as lost

Ok but where do
We sent this application? form doesn’t include address.

Was wondering what that box on the top right corner is and you didn’t even mention it. I guess I’ll leave it blank 😅

Do you need to put an “x” or can you color in the whole box?

thank you so much! I had a question about line #10 (last name first or first name last) and you answered it!

Is it okay that I used check-marks when checking off the boxes, or did I need to use an X like how you did? Thank you so much.

The section that says STOP
i need to have two forms printed? Can you explain this three steps

Hello, I got married at the courthouse but didn’t change my last name until a couple months later at the social security office. (I took them my marriage certificate)
In Section 11, do I put the city of the courthouse of where I got married or the city of the social security office? If it is the social security office do I include my marriage certificate or do I need to include any other forms? Thank you

My printer didn't print the boxes dark enough to put each letter in . Would that be a problem ?

Thanks
