Yes! You can use AI to fill out Form DS-82, U.S. Passport Renewal Application for Eligible Individuals (04-2025)

This check verifies that the applicant has answered 'Yes' to all six eligibility questions in Section A. To use form DS-82, the applicant must be able to submit their recent passport, have been at least 16 at issuance, the passport must be less than 15 years old, and meet other criteria. If any question is answered 'No', the application is rejected for this form, and the user is instructed to use Form DS-11.

Validates that the Social Security Number (SSN) field contains exactly nine digits. Per federal law, providing an SSN is mandatory if the applicant has one. If the field is filled with zeros, the system should flag the application to ensure a separate, signed statement is attached declaring the applicant has never been issued an SSN. Failure to provide a valid SSN or the required statement will result in processing delays and potential denial.

This check compares the 'Passport book issue date' or 'Passport card issue date' against the current date to ensure it was issued less than 15 years ago. This is a primary eligibility requirement for using the DS-82 renewal form. If the passport is 15 years old or older, the validation fails, and the applicant is deemed ineligible to use this form.

This validation cross-references the applicant's 'Date of Birth' with the 'Passport book/card issue date' to confirm they were at least 16 years old when the previous passport was issued. This is a key eligibility criterion stated in Section A. If the calculated age is under 16, the applicant cannot use Form DS-82 and must apply using a different form.

Compares the applicant's current name ('Applicant Name' fields) with the 'Name as printed on most recent passport'. If the names are different, this validation ensures that the 'Name Change Details' section is completed and that the applicant has indicated they will submit supporting documentation (e.g., marriage certificate, court order). An undocumented name change will halt the application process until proof is provided.

Ensures the 'Date of Birth' is entered in the correct MM/DD/YYYY format and represents a valid, logical date. The check confirms the date is not in the future and is within a reasonable human lifespan (e.g., not more than 120 years in the past). This prevents data entry errors and ensures the applicant's identity information is accurate for the new passport.
