Update Current Passport or Replace Emergency Passport
You may be eligible to use this form if you need to change or correct your passport, or you need to replace a passport that was limited to less than 10 years of validity (which is the normal validity period for an adult’s passport).
You can fill out the correct form, or find information about your passport status at https://travel.state.gov.
You must provide one photo on a white background with your passport application. Our photo policies apply to adults and children. We have a few exceptions to our photo policies for infants.
If you are a U.S. citizen with an urgent need to travel to the United States, please write to LimaACS@state.gov and include your current passport information, an explanation, evidence of your reason for travel, and a contact phone number. Emergency appointments will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Having purchased airline tickets without a valid passport does not constitute an emergency. Do not purchase a flight ticket until you have a valid passport.
As of February 27, 2022, the U.S. Embassy in Lima is able to receive certain adult passport renewal applications by mail. Currently, the mail-in renewal option is only available at certain DHL drop-off locations in Lima and Arequipa.
