GENDER MARKER INFORMATION

We print passport holders’ gender in the "Sex" field of U.S passports. The gender markers we use are: M (male), F (female) and X
(unspecified or another gender identify). The gender marker that you check on this form will appear in your passport regardless of the gender
marker(s) on your previous passport and/or your supporting evidence of citizenship and identity. If changing your gender marker select "Yes"
in the "Gender" section (item #3) on Application Page 1. If no gender marker is selected, we will print the gender as listed on your
supporting evidence. Please Note: We cannot guarantee that other countries you visit or travel through will accept the gender
marker on your passport. Research the laws of the countries you plan to visit or travel through to make sure you understand their entry
requirements. Some countries and travel companies may not recognize the "X" gender marker. Visit travel.state.gov for more information.

INFORMATION ON HOW YOU RECEIVE YOUR PASSPORT

Separate mailings: You may receive your newly issued U.S. passport book and/or card and your citizenship evidence/original documents
in two separate mailings. If you are applying for both a U.S. passport book and card, you may receive three separate mailings: one with
your returned citizenship evidence/original documents; one with your newly issued U.S. passport book; and one with your newly issued U.S.
passport card. Photocopies will not be returned.

Passport number: Each newly issued passport book and/or card will have a different passport number than your previous one.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PASSPORT BOOK AND A PASSPORT CARD?

S-

82

The U.S. passport card is not valid for international air travel. Unlike the U.S. passport book, the U.S. passport card is valid only for entry
at land border crossings and sea ports of entry when traveling from Canada, Mexico, Bermuda, and the Caribbean.

AF
T

D

The maximum number of letters provided for your given name (first and middle) on the U.S. passport card is 24 characters. If both your given
names are more than 24 characters, you must shorten one of your given names you list on item #1 on Application Page 1.
Both the passport book and card are U.S. passports. They reflect the bearer's identity and nationality, and they are subject to existing
passport laws and regulations. U.S. passports are only issued to U.S. citizens or non-citizen U.S. nationals.

HOW FEES ARE ESTABLISHED AND PROCESSED
Passport service fees are established by law and regulation (see 22 U.S.C. 214, 22 C.F.R 22.1, and 22 C.F.R. 51.50-56), and are collected at the
time you apply for the passport service.
If we fail to receive full payment of the applicable fees (for example, if your check is returned for any reason or you dispute a passport fee charge
to your credit card), the U.S. Department of State will take action to collect the delinquent fees from you under 22 C.F.R. Part 34 and the Federal
Claims Collection Standards (see 31 C.F.R. Parts 900-904 ). In accordance with the Debt Collection Improvement Act (Pub.L. 104-134), if the fees
remain unpaid after 180 days and no repayment arrangements have been made, we will refer the debt to the U.S. Department of the Treasury for
collection. Debt collection procedures used by the U.S. Department of the Treasury may include referral of the debt to private collection agencies,
reporting of the debt to credit bureaus, garnishment of private wages, and administrative offset of the debt by reducing, or withholding eligible
federal payments (e.g., tax refunds, Social Security payments, federal retirement, etc.) by the amount of your debt, including any interest penalties
or other costs incurred. In addition, non-payment of passport fees may result in the invalidation of your passport. An invalidated passport cannot
be used for travel.
If you send us a check, it will be converted into an electronic funds transfer (EFT). This means we will copy your check and use the account
information on it to electronically debit your account for the amount of the check. The debit from your account will usually occur within 24 hours
and will be shown on your regular account statement. You will not receive your original check back. We will destroy your original check, but we will
keep the copy of it. If the EFT cannot be processed for technical reasons, you authorize us to process the copy in place of your original check. If
the EFT cannot be completed because of insufficient funds, we may try to make the transfer up to two times, and we will charge you a one-time,
non-refundable fee of $25, which we will also collect by EFT.

NOTICE TO APPLICANTS FOR NO-FEE REGULAR, SERVICE, OFFICIAL, OR DIPLOMATIC PASSPORTS
You may use this application if you meet all of the provisions listed; however, you must consult your sponsoring agency for instructions on proper
routing procedures before forwarding this application. Your completed passport will be released to your sponsoring agency and forwarded to you.

PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST IDENTITY THEFT - REPORT YOUR PASSPORT LOST OR STOLEN
A United States citizen or non-citizen national may not normally have more than one valid or potentially valid U.S. passport book or more than one valid or
potentially valid U.S. passport card at a time. Therefore, when a valid or potentially valid U.S. passport book or U.S. passport card cannot be presented with
a new application, you must submit form DS-64, Statement Regarding a Lost or Stolen Valid U.S. Passport. Your statement must detail why the previous
U.S. passport book or card cannot be presented.
The information you provide regarding your lost or stolen valid U.S. passport book or card will be placed into our Consular Lost or Stolen Passport System.
This system is designed to prevent the misuse of your lost or stolen U.S. passport book or card. Anyone using the passport book or card that was reported
lost or stolen may be detained upon entry into the United States. If you find the U.S. passport book or card that was reported lost or stolen,
immediately report it as found and submit it for cancellation. It has been invalidated. You cannot use that passport book or card for travel.
For more information about how to report a lost or stolen valid U.S. passport book or card, please call the NPIC at 1-877-487-2778
(TDD/TTY: 1-888-874-7793) or visit travel.state.gov/loststolen.
