Abstract of Proposed Collection 

The U.S. Passport Renewal 

Application for Eligible Individuals 

(Form DS–82) is used by eligible 

citizens and non-citizen nationals 

(hereinafter, collectively referred to as 

‘‘nationals’’) of the United States who 

need to renew their current or recently 

expired U.S. passport (a travel 

document attesting to one’s identity and 

U.S. nationality). 

This form has been amended based on 

a change in Department policy. The 

Department’s new policy permits 

passport applicants to select the gender 

marker on their passport without 

presenting medical documentation of 

gender transition. This policy change 

includes updating forms to add a third 

gender marker ‘‘X’’ for applicants 

identifying as non-binary, intersex, and/ 

or gender non-conforming (in addition 

to the existing ‘‘M’’ and ‘‘F’’ gender 

markers). 

Methodology 

Passport Services collects information 

from U.S. nationals when they complete 

and submit the DS–82, ‘‘U.S. Passport 

Renewal Application for Eligible 

Individuals.’’ Passport applicants can 

either download the DS–82 from the 

internet or obtain the form from an 

Acceptance Facility/Passport Agency. 

The form must be completed, signed, 

and submitted by mail or in person at 

an acceptance facility, passport agency, 

or U.S. embassy/consulate (if abroad).

Deputy Assistant Secretary, Bureau of
