It is a fairly simple process to get a U.S. passport, even if you’ve never had one before. First, take your completed DS-11 form in person to an Acceptance Facility. These are located in every large city in the U.S. However, if you need your passport in less than two weeks for international travel or within four weeks for a foreign visa, you need to make an appointment at a Passport Agency. There are only a few of these scattered throughout the country. Be sure to take your completed DS-11 form to your appointment.
Whether you go to an Acceptance Facility or a Passport Agency, you need to take your original birth certificate, naturalization certificate or certificate of citizenship. You must also provide identification in the form of a valid driver’s license, government ID or military ID, and bring a copy of the ID you use.
Be prepared to pay an application fee during your visit. Before you go, check the website below for current fees. At an Acceptance Facility, you can pay with a personal check, a money order or a bank draft. Some places accept exact cash, but check before you go. You will also need to pay an execution fee of $25 separately. At a Passport Agency, you can pay the fee with a major credit or your bank debit card. You may use a personal check, a cashier’s check, or a postal money order made payable to “Department of State.”
Lastly, take two small (2’ x 2’) photos. They must have been taken within the past six months. If you have changed your hair color or have otherwise altered your appearance since your picture was taken, you need to have it retaken. Do not wear a hat or anything else that hides the hairline. Have the picture taken in front of a plain white or off-white background, and dress in normal street attire.
Once you have submitted these documents and fees, the application process is finished. The facility you visit will tell you when to expect your passport to arrive in the mail.
