2. If you were at least 16 years old when your most recent passport book and/or U.S. passport card was issued AND
3. If you were issued your most recent passport book and/or U.S. passport card less than 15 years ago AND
4. If  you use the same name as on your most recent passport or; since your passport was issued, you have had your name changed by marriage or court order and can submit proper documentation to reflect that name-change.

If any of these do not apply, use Form DS-11 and see instructions for adult passports.
All passport renewals must include the following:

• Your most recent passport
