After you are referred to the Passport program, you don’t need to contact DSO about your Passport file. For anything related to the Passport program, like what you can buy, invoices, your funding balance, or signing up support workers, contact your local Passport agency.
If your service needs change, you move to a new address, or your contact information changes, you should let your area DSO know so they can update your file.
