To replace a damaged or mutilated passport, you will need to make an appointment.
You must use the passport wizard to print out and sign a form DS-82 (if all the biographical data are NOT damaged) or a form DS-11 (if the passport was mutilated or if the biographical data and/or photo ARE damaged). If you arrive with inaccurate or incomplete forms, or insufficient funds to pay the fees, you will be asked to reschedule your appointment.
Bring the below documents to the U.S. Embassy in Tegucigalpa or the U.S. Consular Agency in San Pedro Sula:
- Application form DS-82 or form DS-11. Do not forget to sign the application form.
- You must provide your Social Security Number (SSN) in accordance with 26 U.S.C. 6039E. Failure to provide information requested on the form, including your SSN, may result in significant processing delays and/or the denial of your application.
