tserface Posted March 4, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I think you only need to change your passport if your name or nationality changes. We didn't get our's redone until recently and we changed addresses 7 years ago. You could also bring along your driver's license as a secondary form of ID and that likely has been updated.

Is it really new? It has been awhile since I got mine so perhaps the address is a new thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are requested to use a pencil when filling in the information. This is where you can enter in your new address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcl410 Posted March 5, 2014 #5 Share Posted March 5, 2014 The address in the US passport is optional to fill out. It says to use a pencil to make it easier to change. If you put your old address in pen; I don't know what to tell you. Either ignore it, or check with the State Dept. to see what they suggest.

Arizona Cruz Chic Posted March 5, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) We are on our third passport and never put an address on any of them. Passports are for proof of citizenship, current addresses are not important....unless you move out of the country.....;) *** Edited March 5, 2014 by Arizona Cruz Chic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merion_Mom Posted March 5, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 5, 2014 We've never put addresses in ours either. It's not required. Nor have I. And no immigrations or customs officer has ever suggested that I do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gayle V Posted March 6, 2014 #16 Share Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) Thanks for reminding me. I looked at my info page in my passport. The name for our emergency contact is our oldest son, and it listed his address from three houses ago, and two phone numbers ago too. I would never have remembered to bring that up to date.
