It is now possible to download passport application forms in Portable Document Format (PDF). Adobe PDF files require the latest free version of Acrobat Reader software from Adobe Systems Inc.
The forms you print must be clear and sharp. Applications that are blurred or illegible will not be accepted. They must be printed in black print on white paper. The paper must be 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches, with no holes or perforations, at least medium (20 lb.) weight, and with a matte surface. Thermal paper, dye-sublimation paper, special inkjet paper, and other shiny papers are not acceptable.
Downloaded forms with any fields blackened out may be rejected by the passport agency. Acquiring the latest free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader should resolve the problem.
If you have the required software and paper read below.
