Question about passport and DS-82 form

Upvote:3

I thought if I never had a book I must fill out DS-11.

But you had a passport. That is enough. Nowhere does the official renew page make a distinction between book and card. It also says:

You can renew your passport even if it has not expired.

And the first two steps to

Submit a U.S. Passport Application by Mail (from within the United States):

Fill Out Form DS-82: Application For A U.S. Passport by Mail

Submit your most recent U.S. passport book and/or card

Emphasis mine. You do not need or want a DS-11 as that is for:

Application for a U.S. Passport (for all first-time applicants, all minors, and applicants who are not eligible to use the DS-82)

So yes, you send in the DS-82 and the card and get a passport book. This is indeed a renewal.
