Well, in my personal case, my national ID # is the same number used in my passport. However, my passport book number is different. I don't know how things work in your country, but I believe each new passport has a different book number. If your passport has a book number and you included it on your DS-160, then, I assume that's the passport you should use as I think that expect to stamp the visa on that passport. If your passport is actually in a terrible condition, which you think could cause problems in your process, then I suggest you to change it. Nevertheless, you should have changed it from the very beginning, I mean at the time of submitting the I-129 Form.

yah u right if i change my passport, all things is changes even the number. In the first place when the time we started our processing i used my old passport, because i always in travel maybe this is the cause of what happen to my passport. so now i hold for a while to schedule my interview and medical now i'm waiting to release my new passport. it is ok that i already paid my visa fee but im not yet schedule my interview and also my medical?

You should have both your old and new passport (DFA will stamp the old one CANCELLED), bring them both to the interview, the CO should be able to update the information. I know the CO can make changes to the DS-160 as others have mentioned that being done.

I don't think it will be a major issue, but that is just my personal opinion. After all the old one got damaged and is being replaced. As long as you have both for the interview.
