Difference between DS-11 and DS-82 passport forms

The DS-11 and DS-82 forms are both used to apply for a US passport, but they are used in different circumstances. The DS-11 form is used for the cases listed above. On the other hand, the DS-82 form is used for passport renewal for those whose current passport was issued after they turned 16, is undamaged, and was issued within the last 15 years. Therefore, the primary difference between the two is that the US passport application form DS-11 is for first-time applicants or those who need to apply for a new passport due to various reasons, while the DS-82 is used for a renewal application.
