Decide how quickly you want your passport to arrive, as expedited service is more expensive than the regular cost.
Pay the passport application fee by available methods, either by mail, bringing it to a U.S. embassy or a passport agency.
Locate a passport agency in Indiana on the U.S. State Department website.
Bring all necessary documents to the passport agency office that is most convenient for you to visit.
All U.S. passports have an expiration date. If you need to have a new passport within two weeks for international travel or within four weeks to obtain a foreign visa, visit a passport agency. You will also need to visit the agency if your passport is significantly damaged.
If you do not immediately need the passport and your current passport is in good condition, renew it by mail.
Send your current passport along with a completed passport renewal form DS-82, two passport photos and the appropriate passport fee by mail to the closest regional passport agency.
Sometimes errors occur when printing passports, or the passport holder may change his or her name. If there was a spelling error or incorrect date of birth, mail the passport and a completed Form DS-5504 to a regional passport agency.
If you are changing your name on the passport, mail the passport and a completed Form DS-5504 to a regional passport agency if you received your passport within the previous year. If not, mail the passport, two passport photos and a completed Form DS-82 to a regional passport agency.
For additional visa pages, mail your passport and Form DS-4085 to a regional passport agency.
