Documents Required Before Visiting the Passport Facility

Form

You should keep these points in mind when you download one or more of the forms from the Department of State website. 

There are some notes that people forget before visiting the Forms page.

• Download the Adobe Acrobat and install it on your device to be able to view the PDF forms and applications on the Department of State Website.

• The image of the application must cover the whole page. Make sure of that point when you print the application.

• If you used the Form Filler tool, do not write anything on it except signing the form. When you use the filler, it creates a barcode for you. Any handwriting will delay when you have your passport.

• The Form Filler tool is the best thing to use if you live in the US or renewing your passport via mail from Canada. If you live in another country, the best thing to do is visiting the U.S. embassy or consulate.

• The passport acceptance facilities or agencies do not accept double-sided forms. The form must be single-sided.

• There is no option to pay online. That is why the Department of State does not ask for your credit card information while applying.

Proof of Citizenship / Identity

This can be your government ID, birth certificate, driving license, or any other proof.

How Does it Work?
