The Department of State is seeking public comments on a proposed revision to the Application for a U.S. Passport for Eligible Individuals (form DS-5504). This form is used by people who need to correct their passport, change their name, or replace a limited passport at no cost. The changes include revising certain statements on the form to comply with legal standards and updating language regarding gender to specify biological sex, as required by executive order. Interested individuals have until March 20, 2025, to submit their feedback.
