Second Passport

Current regulations reflect the long standing policy of the Department of State that no person should be in possession of more than one valid, or potentially valid, passport at any one time unless under circumstances specifically authorized by the Secretary of State. The issuance of a second, concurrently valid passport should be considered an exception to the regulations, and is to be approved on an individual basis only where justified. The validity of a regular American passport is ten (10) years. The second, concurrently valid passport will be limited in validity for two (2) years. This passport is not extendable.

To apply for a second passport, the applicant will need to submit the following documents:

a valid regular passport;
a completed passport application form DS-82;
a completed "Statement in Support of Application for Second Passport"(available at the Embassy)
a letter explaining the need for a 2nd passport 
passport fee of $75 (Dkr. 412.50);
a stamped, self-addressed envelope (Dkr. 81.00);
Two new passport photographs.
