Adding Passport Pages

If you need additional pages in your passport, please use our mail-in procedures. We strongly encourage you to use this highly efficient method. We use Taiwan registered mail to return the passport to you and it is extremely secure and reliable.

Pages can be added to a passport up to three times, provided that the passport is in good condition. This determination is made by the consular officer. Under CFR 51.6, visa pages will not be added to "any passport which has been materially changed in physical appearance or composition, or which includes unauthorized changes, obliterations, entries or photographs".  

Applications for pages in minors' passports may be signed and submitted by one parent.

To add pages by mail:

  1. Complete and sign application form (DS-4085) with Taiwan contact telephone and address
    Please note—for applicants with no social security number or an unknown social security number, make sure to enter all zeros in the appropriate field when filling out the application online.
  2. Enclose your valid U.S. passport
  3. Enclose a US$82 local bank draft (Cashier’s Check) (本地銀行的美金匯票 ) payable to "American Institute in Taiwan" with no other amendments or notations (such as "Not Negotiable").
  4. Include a self-addressed, stamped (NT $50 postage) envelope for AIT to return your passport to you
  5. Mail the above items to one of the American Citizen Services office at:
    American Institute in Taiwan - Taipei 
    No.7 Lane 134, Hsin Yi Road, Sec. 3, Taipei, 106

    American Institute in Taiwan - Kaohsiung
    No.2, Chung Cheng 3rd Road, Kaohsiung 802
  6. AIT will use your envelope to return the passport to you via registered mail in approximately 3 weeks.

To add pages in person:

If you must apply in person you must make an appointment in Taipei. 

The following items are required:

  1. A valid U.S. passport
  2. A completed and signed application form (DS-4085) with Taiwan contact telephone and address
    Please note—for applicants with no social security number or an unknown social security number, make sure to enter all zeros in the appropriate field when filling out the application online.
  3. US$82 fee, payable by cash (NT$ or US$) or with a major credit card.
  4. The pages will be added while you wait, within 60-90 minutes.

If you have proof of a paid travel itinerary and there are no appointments available before your scheduled departure, you may come to AIT in Taipei to add pages without an appointment Monday through Friday between 8:30 - 11:30 AM and 1:30 - 3:00 PM.  We will attempt to assist you as expeditiously as possible.  However, applicants with appointments have priority.
