US Passport Card Application

• Complete Form DS-11 (only if you never had a passport or will apply for both at the same time)
• Complete Form DS-82 (only if you have a valid passport)
• One passport size photo
• Your current valid passport
• A clear copy of the front and back of your driver’s license or state-issued ID (if applying for a minor’s passport card)
• Flight itinerary (if you will use the emergency service)

First-time US Passport Card Applicants

Any applicant who never had a passport must present documents to show proof of citizenship and identity. The additional papers must accompany the form. So, submit:

• Proof of Citizenship:
  • Birth Certificate
  • Certificate of Born Abroad
  • Naturalization Certificate

• Proof of Identity:
  • Copy of driver’s license or state-issued ID
  • Copy of  minor school ID
