How to apply for a passport

Determine which type of passport you need, such as a first-time applicant, renewal, or replacement.

Gather required documents, including proof of US citizenship, identification, and a photocopy of both sides of your ID.

Fill out Form DS-11, Application for a U.S. Passport, and sign it.

Depending on your country, the passport application process varies. Check your government’s official website or local passport office for requirements, fees, and processing times. Need help finding the right link? Let me know!
