A limited passport is issued when the information contained in the passport does not meet the requirements for a regular U.S. passport. To replace a limited passport with a regular U.S. passport, you must submit a completed Form DS-11, Application for a U.S. Passport, along with all required documentation and application fees. If your previous passport is still valid, you should also submit it. If your previous passport is damaged, lost, or stolen, you will need to follow the procedures for reporting it and applying for a new passport.
