Frequently Asked Questions

How do I change the emergency contact information on my passport?

In order to change your emergency contact information, please cross out the old contact on page 4 of the passport and write the new one in the space provided. Do not use correction fluid. If insufficient room remains on the page, write the new information on a separate piece of paper and insert it in the passport.
