Second Passport
Second Passports are issued by the US State Department only in certain specific situations. If you travel overseas very frequently you may need a second passport to handle the visa processing in one passport while simultaneously traveling on the second passport. Another reason is for Middle East travel. If you have an Israeli stamp on your passport you cannot travel to many Arab countries, therefore you can obtain a second passport for traveling to those Arab countries. You must document clearly why your need is warranted for this type of application.
Is a Second Passport Application what you need? Ask yourself the following questions:
- Do I have an Israeli stamp on my passport and need to travel to an Arab country with Israeli stamp restrictions?
- Do I travel so much that I have one passport getting visas approved while I need another passport to travel with?
If you answer yes to (any of) these questions, then please print Parts 1 and 2 below. Part 1 can be printed and filled out by hand in ink. Part 2 will take you to the U.S. State Department’s website, where you are required to complete the passport application electronically and then print it out once completed. Please see below for detailed instructions on how to complete Part 2.
