Common Questions

Second Passport Application FAQ

List the details as follows:

  • If you currently hold a second passport (2 year passport), list the number and date of issue of the second passport.
  • If you do not currently hold a second passport, list the number and date of issue of your valid 10 year passport.

Yes, you must list travel plans, because second passports are only issued to US citizens whose travel plans require a second passport.

  • If you are requesting a second passport because of upcoming travel to a country that will not allow you to enter with a passport that shows Israel stamps, list the details of this trip.
  • If you need a second passport because you have to get a visa for a future trip while you are on another international trip, list your soonest international departure.

No, you must list your name exactly as it is shown on your current 10 year passport. If your name has changed since your 10 year passport was issued, or if there is a printing error on your passport, you must go through the name change or passport correction process on your 10 year passport before a second passport is issued. A passport expediting company may be able to help you do both processes at once to save time.
