How to Fax Passport Applications — Easy Step-by-Step Guide
Passport application packets often involve supplemental paperwork sent to a passport agency, an acceptance facility, or the National Passport Information Center after the initial filing, and several of these channels still accept fax. Expedited requests and document corrections in particular tend to move by fax because the agency wants a dated record of what arrived and when. Send FAX Mail sends Form DS-82 renewals, name-change evidence, and supporting letters from any device and returns a confirmation you can keep with your travel records in case a question comes up about your submission date.

Document Format
Ensure all text is legible in black and white — fax transmits in grayscale. Signatures must be clearly visible. Include your name and contact information on the cover sheet. For multi-page documents, number each page and include identifying information in the header.
Legal Considerations
Many personal documents contain sensitive personally identifiable information including dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and addresses. Verify the recipient's fax number carefully before transmitting to prevent misdirected PHI or PII. Some official documents may require original signatures or certified copies — faxed copies may not be accepted in all circumstances.
