Apply for a First-Time Passport

If you’ve never had a U.S. passport or aren’t allowed to renew an existing passport by mail, you need to apply for a new passport in person.

To apply for a first-time passport you will need to complete a DS-11 form. Please complete the application online and print it (do not print double-sided). Please make sure the application is printed on two separate pages. If you choose to download the form and handwrite the information, please use black ink. If you make an error on the form, do use whiteout or strike through the text. You will need to download another form. Do not sign the form until you have been administered the oath by a passport acceptance facility agent staff member.

Additional documents needed for the application:

Certified birth certificate or proof of citizenship, driver’s license or a state or military identification, or an existing passport card or book.

If you are eligible to renew your passport, either by mail or online, you will need to complete a DS-82 form. Please bring your passport book or card with you for renewal. You will also need to bring a form of identification.
