- The DS-11 application form filled out but NOT signed. You will sign in the presence of the Consular officer;
- Proof of U.S. citizenship — please see our section on Acquisition of U.S. Citizenship for further information on what documents are acceptable to prove you are an American citizen;
- Proof of identity (this can be any valid, government issued ID, e.g. foreign passport or driver's license, ID card, military ID or U.S. driver's license);

- The appropriate fee.
Note: If you are applying for the first passport for a child under the age of 18, who was born overseas, you must first report the child's birth. Please see our section on Reporting a Birth Abroad. |
