Extra Pages
If your passport's visa pages are becoming full, but your passport is still valid and in good condition, you may apply by mail or courier for additional pages to be added to your passport. Only one set of extra pages (24 pages are in each set) can be added to your passport at a time, but if needed, and if your passport remains in good condition, you may have up to three sets of extra pages inserted into your passport. Once this limit is reached, you will need to apply for passport renewal. Please note that extra pages cannot be added to an emergency passport.
Application Requirements
Please submit the following by Royal Mail Special Delivery or via the Embassy's appointed courier service:
- Your valid ten- or five-year passport;
- Passport form DS-4085:
Application for Additional Visa Pages. Please ignore page one of

Applying by Royal Mail Special Delivery
Please submit your passport application, along with all supporting documents, only by using the Royal Mail "Special Delivery" service (available at any UK Post Office). Please do not use the regular mail service. Your envelope should be addressed to:
Passport-by-Mail Service
American Citizen Services
U.S. Embassy
5 Upper Grosvenor Street
London, W1A 2LQ
To ensure the safe return of your passports, you should also enclose a pre-paid Special Delivery self-addressed return envelope that shows postage paid up to 500 grams. Inquiries regarding Special Delivery Mail should be directed to your local Post Office. As the Embassy does not keep track of Special Delivery numbers, you are advised to keep a record of your Special Delivery tracking number so you can track your passport's return to you.
Applying via Secure Mail Services (SMS)
SMS will collect your documents, deliver them to the Embassy, and return them to you once processing has been completed. Detailed information on SMS services and booking is available by calling 0870-950-1760. [Disclaimer]
Processing Time
An application for extra pages will be processed by our office and will take up to five working days.
