The US State Department phased out Form DS-19, which was used for amending an existing passport.

    Passport Services will no longer amend valid passports. Instead, customers requesting name changes, extension of validity for limited passports, or correction of a printing error will apply for replacement passports.

    If the change is within one year after issuance, they will submit a U.S. Passport Re-Application Form (DS 5504),together with the passport that needs the change, the documentation required, and new passport pictures. There will be no charge for routine processing.
