PROCEDURE FOR EXTENSION OF VALIDITY OF THE SECOND
(RESTRICTED) PASSPORT
A
restricted (Second) passport
passport is a
passport issued to replace lost, stolen, mutilated valid
passports and its validity is limited to a shorter period of
time (normally one year). In all cases the replacement passport
will carry a Passport Agency endorsement identifying it as such.
Effective
September 26, 2005, as an additional security enhancement,
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.
Please follow the procedure accordingly to avoid processing
delay. An incomplete or incorrectly completed application
will delay the issuance of the passport.

documents to Travel the World Visas for processing:
1) Expired
