For the Americans out there,
Has anyone recently applied for a Passport renewal in Japan? I’m looking at the form, and under mailing address section, there aren’t enough spaces in the phone number and zip code areas to put the accurate ones I have here in Japan.
How did you fill out the form?
Edit: Thank you everyone for the help! I was able to complete it and mail it in. Hopefully it all works out.
You have all be much more helpful than getting absolutely 0 response from the Embassy.

Which form?
You can renew the passport through the official passport website and once you finish, mail your passport and the document generated from the site +picture.
I did this and paid for the expedited service in Early April and got my passport last week.
You can fill out the form by hand if necessary to fit things in. Skip the “state” field.
You can ignore the individual digit box guidelines and just print the numbers clearly in the overall space
If you fill the form out online and print it thats what it does anyway.
I followed the steps on this website recently and what you described above was not an issue.
