Why a passport gets limited in the first place
You may replace a limited validity passport at any time, however government fees will vary depending on when you apply.
The limitation is a note that something was outstanding when the book was issued: incomplete citizenship evidence, an identity question, a name discrepancy, or a document that had not arrived yet. Clear that item and the full 10-year book follows.
Sameday Passport & Visa starts by naming the reason, because the evidence you need is decided by it.
Issued overseas by a consulate?
If your limited validity passport was issued by a U.S. Consulate Office overseas, a letter was included with instructions for obtaining a new, full validity passport. You must include this letter with your application.
Lost the letter? Bring the passport anyway. Sameday Passport & Visa will tell you what can be reconstructed and what has to be requested from the issuing post.
