Get my U.S. Passport Re-Issued with TDS New York

Effective September 2005 U.S. passport agencies will no longer amend a passport for such reasons as a change of name, change of name by marriage or divorce - a new passport book will be issued to replace the old one.

If your passport was issued more than one year ago, follow the instructions for a Passport Renewal, you are not eligible for a passport Re-Issue.

• If your passport was issued less than one year ago, you require a name change, a data correction
• or, if your passport was limited invalidity for two years or less AND/OR issued abroad follow instructions on this page for a U.S. Passport Re-Issue.
