Passports
Applying for a Second U.S. Passport
Americans are not permitted to bear more than one valid passport of the same type at any one time unless expressly authorized by the Department of State, which will authorize a second passport only if:
• The applicant plans to travel to a foreign country that may deny a visa or entry to the bearer of a passport containing markings or visas evidencing travel to certain other countries;
• The passport needed for current travel purposes is unavailable due to prolonged visa processing delays.
Persons wishing to apply for a second passport must execute a written letter indicating in detail the justification for the second passport. They will also be required to sign an affidavit promising to report the loss of either passport to the Department of State immediately.
Bring the detailed letter described above, along with all the required documents for a New Passport.
