Change of Occupation Notice

Upvote:5

There is no mechanism to provide notice to the Department of State that you have changed your occupation from that listed on your passport application.* It's simply understood and expected that this happens. Adult passports last for 10 years. Much of the information on the application is likely to become out of date in this time, and that's just fine; you don't even need to notify them if you change your address.

Crossing borders, you might be asked about your occupation, either in person or on entry forms. Just give your current occupation. In the quite unlikely situation a country has your old occupation on file and asks you about it, you can tell them you got a new job.

[*] You could, I suppose, apply for a new passport and put whatever you want in the occupation field, but this is an entirely unnecessary expense and hassle that will give you no benefit.
