First-time applicants must apply in person at a passport acceptance facility — usually a post office, clerk of court, or library. Bring a completed Form DS-11 (don't sign it until asked), proof of U.S. citizenship plus a photocopy, a valid photo ID plus a photocopy, one passport photo, and your fees. Many facilities require an appointment, so call ahead.

Form DS-11 (unsigned), an original or certified proof of citizenship (birth certificate or naturalization certificate) with a photocopy, a government photo ID with a photocopy, one 2x2 passport photo, and payment for the application and acceptance fees.

It depends on the facility. Many post offices and clerk offices accept walk-ins, but a growing number require an appointment — always call the specific location first to confirm hours and whether you need to book a time.

If you're eligible for renewal (your most recent passport is undamaged, was issued within the last 15 years, and after age 16), you can renew by mail with Form DS-82 rather than visiting a facility. You can prepare a renewal application online with Vital Records Online.
